and IRPQ,
i know it's great that you're finally getting a built engine, but i really hate the circumstances. reminds me of how i finally got the v8 i wanted in my truck

you've definitely got the most dedication i've ever seen towards one car

you've got so many stories packed into these past 3 yrs about how "the car's doing this", "the car did that", "the car broke my ____"...
i hate that i ain't been able to be more help, even the times i came over to take stuff apart or reinstall.
hopefully i don't have to go this route for my forged stroker... i'm already on this road towards a build TR6060 swap. ever since Road Atlanta, trans fluid has been slowly migrating from the inside of the case to my garage floor
