Hi, Kev and Eric,

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out as soon as the rain stops.

Next questions:

1. Do the I8 lifters, either solid or hydraulic, have a hardened button about 1/4" thick on the bottom? This type lifter can usually be reground. Those lifters with a one-piece body usually cannot.
2. Is Egge still the only source for 327" pistons? Rumor has it their quality has improved, but I had so many bad experiences way back when with V8 pistons, I haven't bought any Egge lately.
3. Any difference between Egge and Kanter complete engine kits? Kanter seems to be a bit less expensive, if $1500 can be considered a bargain. Any other source show have a complete kit? I haven't seen any.

thnx, jack vines
