What would you do?

I asked for justification, when perhaps a better term would have been rationale. I just want to know why people answer the way they do. It's like asking someone why they married the ugly chick. Seems obvious why they wouldn't, but maybe she is a great cook. Or, as my mother would say, she has a great personality. Lol, thanks Mom!

Great analogy.:D

If I didn't have to keep that motor for some reason and for the reason you need to "drive it all over the country" I think I might get another motor with an international warrantee and spend the saved parts, machining and assembly expense on that and an aftermarket EFI like Fast EFI or Holly's Sniper.

I think the reasons are obvious.

If you have to keep the original motor then doing it right and completely makes sense for reliability.
