man, thanks for all your help. I plan to order everything either today or wed. I took everything apart yesterday, so the cleaning and painting will probably get done on thrus or fri and hopefully I can get her back on the road by next week.
I talked to a friend that used to do some port work so I might clean up the casting bumps on the heads and match everything up while they are off this week. I will let y'all know how it all turns out!
thanks again everyone!
