Of course this is all assuming a worst case scenario.

It's a breeze really. Just machine all your internals from billet stock and you are good to go.

I don't know JFP, I think we can still work with those heads.

A little dab of welding here than there, and pretty soon you'll have a real nice boat anchor.............
