V8 conversion comments



As I said Peter, money and time is no object to him.  His daily driver is a
Z06 so his V8 needs are bountifully met, and he's the furthest from Joe
backyard mechanic I have ever seen.  If it weren't for "joe backyard", Dick
Rutan wouldn't have circumnavigated the globe on a single tank of fuel.  Your
words are just the kind that boost his spirit.
