Thanks Barry. Yeah the job seems pretty straight forward to me too. I havent taken anything apart yet other than valve covers, and manifold bolts. I figure when I have all the gaskets and hoses that I'll need, the job should only take about an afternoon, and thats taking my sweet time.

I wont scrape anything on the block or heads. I'll use the solvent and hopefully it will come out squeeky clean.

It would be great to have it finished by Chrismas, but at this rate I'm looking at 2008.

Thanks for the input.
