Sorry guys, started the thread yesterday and then got a call about a family emergency - everything's ok, but I never got a chance to get back on the computer last night.
Tom: Being sick and twisted is fun, I use the Rat-Fink just to warn the innocents /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
Shawn: Thanks for the good info - my RAM works about as well as yours, I know I know something, but can't for the life of me dredge it back up /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
BOXoROCKS: The current plan is to keep one of my 4 cyl engines so I can convert back if I ever want to (which leave a shortblock available for sale) How about a foot-long w/chili, cheese, onions and mustard? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
BobH: To build is to experiment - after my talks with the NZ company I feel pretty comfortable with the conversion as long as the block is sleeved - going that route you can actually push the TR6 engine to 3.0L with a stroked crank. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Anybody else got any tidbits I should be aware of?
