        Thanks Mike.  I had Steve Wilkinson get me another Cleveland block 
and we went from there.  The only parts we used from the old engine are the 
carb,  fuel pump,  oil pan,  water pump,  timing chain,  cam,  lifters  and 
distributor.  I'm sure I have forgotton some small things,  and I'm sure 
this will raise some eyebrows,  but  I couldn't stand to not use,  what I 
considered to be good parts.  The fact that this was the second new engine 
in two years probably had something to do with that?  The new engine 
includes a SCAT 408 stroker kit with forged crankshaft,  CHI 3V heads with 
matching dual plane manifold and a 10.0 to 1 compression ratio.  Two new 
additions to the car include a temperature gauge and an MSD,  cockpit 
adjustable timing control (part #8680).  I figure when I get this thing 
sorted out,  it should be a blast to drive!
