If you want something that will last 50,000 miles buy a Honda ;-]>
Still I like your plan and look forward to running with you in ORR.

Doggie Daddy,
I'm not waiting for the aluminum block. I hope it gets built, and
maybe someday if I save my nickels and dimes, I might have one? For me,
my dream engine for the Pantera would be all aluminum, naturally aspirated,
big HP, torque and revs, while fitting under the stock screen. I imagine
the engine that will be built in the upcoming weeks, isn't going to last
forever. So I think there will be more opportunities to build that bad boy
in the future, that is, if I'm willing to refinance my house! Regarding
my budget? That depends, as in, I should probably be wearing Depends when
I get the bill :-)
