Thanks for the post. Based on basically nothing I was thinking something along those lines also. He's a straight up guy so I don't forsee a problem should something be cracked either. We all know the costs of parts and machine work and I've had plans for a built up 292 in a '53-'54 Studebaker for a long time now. Currently I have a '40 str.8 Packard in my jalopy of a 'hotrod'. Thanks again for the response, it's much appreciated. Fred
