[Mark Nunnally]

> cleveite rod and main bearings-$100?

rods are around $50 w/ tax, mains around $120 w/ tax (napa clevite)

> lower end gaskets from Josh-$100?

do you already have 3.2L head gaskets?  Otherwise you got maybe $150 down
there give or take

napa's southeast regional shop is here in gainesville, it's quite big with a
large staff, very good equipment.  they do some performance type work (was
over there yesterday and they had finished some 4 banger rice rocket buzz
bomb head with performance cams, springs, etc), although with having smaller
projects done there you sorta get lost in the shuffle.  There is another guy
here in town, small shop, 1 man operation that I'll end up using for the
3.2L.  Little easier to deal with the details and you get more attention
with the little guy...

before you get cams check with SHO NUT...

that's about the norm!
