BTW: I'm taking my T-Type to a shop to get straightened out. And I'm not building my next engine, either. I guess I should hang my head in shame 'cause that makes me less of a hot rodder than all of the cyber Smokey Yunicks here...

as much as i love the great catch phrases you seem to love, i don't think they apply this time.
i offered matt links to tons of information that would have taught him to "fish" and he didn't follow through on his end. i also suggested many books and periodicals to read, yet he did not learn to "fish". if someone is not willing to take the first step on their own why should it be up to me or anyone else to carry them the rest of the marathon?
there is also a very very big difference between you having an engine built and needing your whole car finished for you. you have a lot of knowledge and you have built up a lot of different cars. not doing or not being an expert in one area or another is not comparable in this situation.
