I have also read through your build and have got a lot if inspiration from your excellent body work. I am very new at that aspect and I learned a lot from your thread. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hahahahaha I feel that I have to warn you that everything you see on my build has to come with the disclaimer that I am a total newb at this stuff !!!
I have gotten in over my head (well, almost) a couple times.

I have married up a Muncie20 to my 350, and that came with some challenges of its own, which I just summed up in gtcox's thread....

Yep..... that was what I was hearing out as well.
Sadly for me the T56 was going to be a $1500 to $2000 investment for me up here in central Alaska.

Let me know if I can help you with any specific questions you may have.
