Happy to give my perspective WhiteSmokeLS1. I love rebuilding cars too. I've been doing it since I was a kid. Before I was even legal to drive I was in a Corvair stage where my buddies and I all had them swapped engines and transmissions and drove them like fools after getting our licenses. I think that is what drew me to an opposed 6. There were a few classic restorations thrown in along the way. I think this is my grown up stage, gives me a hobby after work. Just getting the crank and new bearings installed in the bearing carrier so I've begun building back up. Good luck on finding something to rebuild. I was kind of hoping for upper end damage so I'd have an excuse to drop in a motor with a little more horsepower, but my cheap side is fairly happy with the way things are working out, after all I end up with essentially a new motor, and I know exactly what I've got.
