As for the engine's condition, it really doesn't matter once you factor in the machine shop. They should have everything back to me no later than 12/27/2005. I'm off work the week of 12/26-12/30 so that works out great! Now I just need to get a SPEC stage I & flywheel ... doubt I could get that in the same time-frame.

SVT Cuervo (I think) has the best prices on SPEC stuff. I know he had a thread with updated price in the GB forum. Quick search for SPEC would proboly bring it up.

Stage 1 Spec is $279. Comes with pressure plate and TOB as well FYI. They were running a deal on the FW if you bought the clutch as well.

Thanks Todd ... just got off the phone with them ... it will be drop shipping along with a Fidanza (going on the Cougar) since I already have an SVT flywheel (factory fresh - meant for the Cougar).
I also just got off the phone with the local dealership (I get the same pricing as BillJ, otherwise I would go through Bill) since I don't have to pay for shipping and I can pick everything up tomorrow after 3PM 
- I got every gasket on the engine, all the TTY block bolts (head bolts as well) & valve stem seals.
Also called the machine shop and consulted with them on the cost of the lapping vs. valve job and he said that the labor was roughly the same, so I decided to go with a full valve job (5 angle IIRC).
As you can tell, even though this car will ultimately be sold someday this spring, I'm paying attention to detail and doing it right ... the way I expected to recieve this car will be the way it will be sold. No rock will be left unturned. I'm even going to be installing a Quaife in the gearbox

Looks like the engine was burning a lot of oil. There appears to be rust at the top of the one cylinder wall but hard to tell from the pics.
That is the insides of a circuit breaker designed to fit in a standard blade fuse slot. It normally has a metal shell covering what you are looking at. They are $2-3 at any parts store ONCE you first find out it's rating & if it's suppose to be there.
I agree. It looks like they did not change oil very often, it also may have had oil burning issues (PCV, seals, etc), and it definitely sat with water in the cylinders. (probably sat outside a while)
Since I recall you are going to bore the engine the rusty cylinders are not an issue. If you are not going to bore it they they could be if it is anything more the very minor surface dust. (i.e. oxidized powder)

Yeah, I thought it might be a circuit breaker at first, but I thought he said that the part in the picture was actually IN the slot? Whatever, I'm glad you cleared that up. Should be easy enough for someone to go out and check the manual for the purpose and rating of that slot. I'd do it but it is all the way down in the garage in the glovebox...  <yeah, I know I'm suddenly lazy> Maybe later.

Yes, it was in the slot AND it was bent back so that the "flap" could never make contact with the "posts" ... make sense? Notice in the first picture that the "thingy", as I will refere to it until it's identified, is bent to the left. The two "posts" where bent at different angles, not allowing the center section to ever make contact. Not knowing what it was meant for and the fact that the slot is labeled with a yield sign with an exclimation point in the middle and a picture of a book opened up (owner's manual) with no AMP rating, I decided it best not to reinstall until I knew for sure what that slot is for. Notice that is the ONLY slot in the panel without an AMP rating and refers you back to the owner's manual, thus why I thought the "thingy" was OEM. Regardless, it stood out and considering the build of this car, I'm not taking any chances!!!

I vaguely remember my car having that from the factory, but sealed as Demon said.
