Why dont you try going to a engine shop to see if they will fix it. Do you happen to have a place called "Accurate Engines" by you, if so go there, they will fix anything.

about half the price of that, and about 20+ more hp and 30 more ft lbs of tq.

There's a guy up outside of DC here (I think he's in Manassas) that's done at least one 3L conversion job. Goes by DanG on the boards. Post in the CapitolCEG forum and ask for help, and I bet you can get sorted out easy.
