Stu,

I had a short block assembled years ago at shop near you. It was owned by the brother of friend of mine. He charged me an arm and a leg, but was done in a reasonable time.

When I got the motor home I noticed that one of the pistons was in backwards. I called him and he wanted to argue about it. I had to take it back to SSF. Once there he still wanted to argue even though the evidence was right in front of him. He finally grabbed a cylinder head core to line up with the piston tops and finally saw it. Then he said "OH"

The fixed it, but I sure wasn't happy.

There is a good shop up here in Sac. If I can get one of the cars out of my shop I might be able to help you with the storage thing.
