Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I don't have my heart set on a 427SO vs a 428, but my thinking was in the grand scheme of things it sure would be nice. Heck maybe by the time I'd in the market for a motor Genesis will have product (OK maybe not). I think I'm set on the remodeling side, just bought a new house (well new to us, but only 2 years old). The house removed my cobra fund, which is why I need to estimate how much its going to cost.

Tim,

I think half of the appeal is that I get to put it togther myself. Sure I want the finished product, but I also want the experience of the build, its part of what I'm buying.

Jon,

Thanks for the offer. I'm swamped with work, but I'll email you soon about checking out your build. I work at 101 & Lawrence so its not far.

I guess I'm getting ahread of myself, but what are people's thoughts on TKO2 vs. a Toploader? I'm not worried about authenticity of the toploader, and I would like the overdrive, but not if I'm giving up strength. I had a superchared 5.0 with a TKO and was very happy with the TKO.

Anyway thanks again for the feedback.
