Okay I read the "book" you wrote on re-machining the crank and such. Also that you are swapping an engine in to get the car running while rebuilding the old.
Yeah, I guess I did get a little long winded! I felt I needed to prove a point and got a little carried away.
I guess hell hath no fury like a gearhead scorned!  LOL!!
DemonSVT and I PM'd and everything's cool. And he brought up some interesting points I had not considered. We will continue to converse.

I still don't understand why you're not interested in a 3L? When even used longblocks can be found for less than $500? That should be nothing compared to the cost of forged rods and new pistons, which you didn't mention in your "book"
Actually, since I'm buying some time I might just. No substitute for cubes, after all. Sometimes though I enjoy the challenge of being different; possibly I'm just eccentric. (Or thick headed!) Anyway, I guess I'll figure which direction to proceed after tearing down the old engine and seeing what kinda' damage has been done.
