Wes,
This report IS great news! I have all the needed parts gathered up. The
necessary machine work is being performed, and I should start engine
assemble Wednesday. Really looking forward to another "assault on the
salt", maybe we can get it right this time. 

I will miss sparing with the "East Coast Guys". (I know the distance is
the only thing that will keep them away.) Really enjoyed meeting my
"e-mail buddies". 

Tom
