    I had not even thought of the latter.... I need to get that big eared GFRT member to send donations so I can finish my own car.

    What I learned at school today?

    * If its posted on the Net it must be true
    * Assumptions are just that until proven. Facts have a terrible habit of getting in the way of a perfectly good assumption. I am fully guilty of same.
    * I have my work cut out for me
    * If BruceW was caught out in a field when a gust of wind comes... there no telling where touch down might occur.

    Most of the items on the check list I agree with. Add, pulling fuel pumps to inspect the rubber components before the engine is started with fresh injectors.

    reminds me -

    Why do elephants have big ears?
    Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.

    1.Don't pull Sally's pigtails, her brother is a big SOB
    2.Kick the school bully in the nuts on the playground when he's not looking, he's not nearly as tough as he acts
    3.Don't drop your pencil to try and look up the teachers dress, she knows exactly what you're up to

    Seen that before- it's always nice to find 1/2 pound of half chewed up black licorice in your fuel system.

    When the money runs out.

    Since you have the heads off, get them ported along with a good three angle valve job. You may also wanna look into getting the throttle bodies ported and matched.

    In proper American English :D I guess you mean free shipping?
    No, but as weak as the dollar is right now, it probably would be cheaper to send them here anyway. :)
