Jumping ahead a little to where we are now. The engine for this ride will be a bridge ported 12A. We acquired a donor car and pulled it's engine, the engine is now on the stand awaiting tear down and porting work. 2gslse and I believe the engine failed due to the coolant seal (hopefully just the seal and not the jacket). We'll be pulling this engine apart soon and plan to reuse pretty everything that's reusable. If that's the case, the engine rebuild (just the keg) should easily fit within our $2013 budget. If not, we'll have to sell off parts from the project to recoup cost, lol...
