Thanks for that thought doug 351.
Right now I'll let him finish what he's doing(boring cylinders etc...) I think I will source out the parts at summit like you said......
I'm in a 'hillbilly hick town' I'm lucky to have a machine shop that can even do this......
will summit ship to Canada?
I definetly have lots more thinking to do before I go any further than reconditioning the bottem end.....
I have enough money spent for right now anyway gotta let the bank acount recover,
Lots of cleaning and other stuff that don't cost money to do for now.....
I have to see what I can do with rear end, brakes and tranny too.....
this could still take some time ......
peace out....
