ya........i'm gonna keep it. so the next question is.....i see that Kanter has a full engine rebuild kit for over $1200. is it easier/cheaper to source out individual parts and pieces versus bucking up and dropping the $1200? or is it going to equal out anyhow? i've just started my research on engine parts, so i havn't rounded all the bases yet. i would like to start purchasing the parts now, as i go over the next few years instead of having the shock of coming up with $$$$$s of dollars at one time. My first baby girl is due to arrive in two short weeks, so no garage time, buy maybe some computer research time. I know there are a few gurus out there and if there is any literature at all either i would greatly appreciate a step in the right direction. I just purchased a Sprint intake for the ol' gal as when i am rebuilding, i may as well try to up the ponies a bit as well. anybody got a hit on an exhaust header sprint version as well??
