I wanted to thank everybody who replied to my question concerning the rebuilding of a 440 for my '68 Crown. I work an odd schedule (as many hospital employees do) and haven't had a chance to catch up on e-mail & replies. To answer one list member's question, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I hope to get things rolling with the beast after Christmas. I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions then.
