[Tigers] Engine rebuild

[David Sosna]

Tim:
I think I spent a similar amount on my 302 for pretty much the same work 
as you describe.  A big chunk went into pocket porting the stock iron heads.
At the time I wanted to keep that engine, since it was a J-code 302, and 
they were only around for a year (I think).
In hindsight, I understood why so many Tiger owners grab a crate motor.  
More power for about the same amount of money.

Best Regards
David Sosna
P.S. This was around '04.
