    But with only 70 posts in 13 years, I'm probably not in the target market

Not sure where to send my heads to get them machined. I had 2 exhaust mani bolts break off and one has an ez out stuck in it. The studs broke off on their own causing an exhaust tick. That's the whole reason all of this started. I have not decided whether I am going to do the full assembly myself, or farm out the short block to a shop and finish the rest myself. I read too many horror stories from all the local shops in DFW so might try it myself. Worse comes to worse, I blow up the motor and get a loan for a JLP long block

    That's a lot to digest for now. Sounds like you will have a nicely built engine when it's all done.
