If someone lived in Muscle Shoals I would buy them a six pack of their preferred beverage to give it a listen

Good deal maybe it's something simple and not the engine.

MGreen5833, Welcome aboard, however I am sorry to hear about your bad luck. I am actually getting closer to installing my new engine. I've been building on it for a while. As Dustin said it indeed may just be something pretty simple. If you are close to Spring Valley I don't mind helping you try to figure it out. I've got a shop out here. Don't know everything about them I am an old school sbc man but I am learning. Ive got a lift to work on it as well. You will find that we all on here try out best to help each other out. Feel free to give me a call 256.303.4243.
