Spare engine wasn't quite as plug and play as I thought. Planned on a new pan, pump, valve springs and go. Apparently there are quite a few differences between a '97 and '94 LT1, so I ended up tearing the 'new' '94 down to block/crank/rods/pistons. It'd be silly not to throw in rings and bearing since it's down this far. Whole thing just snowballed to more than I expected.

That combined with a few other things, like saving for a trip to Scotland this year (~$1200-1400 each plane ticket) and not being on OT, means I'll be skipping a few races in 2013. Figure now's also the time to do a few things to the car I've been putting off. I most definetly will be at Hallett and TWS tho. I'll be back on your bumper full time in 2014... got an Ironman record to beat.
