    (2-11-08) Update! Picked up the engine from Bow Auto parts in NH today. I feel I got a great deal, every accessory, computer, mounts, everything except the tranny for $850.

    Anyway, here's some pics. Now I've got to save and find a T56...

    There's no replacement for displacement.

    Yeah, ARP rod bolts are worth the money. Take it back apart and replace those. When you put it back together, double check the oil sump to bottom of pan clearance. Make sure you put about a 1/2" ball of clay on the sump and set the pan firmly down and measure your clay, should be at least 1/4".

    For certain.

    Maybe new Oring on the pickup tube too?
