im on a tight budget man... lol but yes i have seen that kit.

i mean my motor build itself was almost $4500 in main components (no gaskets n crap like that) before i snagged that lightning stuff.

oh well maybe i can just wait a lil bit and draw the build up out a bit? considering my hours have been cut down massively. im missing about 50 hrs a check now

Engineers Unions are still surviving up this way. They give yuh a nice chunk of cheese before layoff in Dec. (Vacation Pay.) - We get called back in March, by May everyones wishing they were still off..

But I was thinking more along the lines of Do Not Resuscitate.
