nah it's a big deal, we don't get too much snow, but when we do, it's like always more than a foot or two, and takes like 3 weeks to go away, than another storm hits - yea the engine date, there really isn't one - i'm expecting to get it in next weekend, start hookin **** up next weekend, than over the coarse of week after, keep hookin **** up, than finally get it running the following weekend, find out that the roller rockers need adjustment, order a new ****in intake gasket, and take off my upper intake, and order valve cover gaskets and than find the messed up rocker ( i guess i could do that using the old screwdriver to ear technique, while the car is running, to identify the messed up rocker) than should break in the cam (on the box it says 20 min, but it's a roller cam w/ roller lifters, so it shouldn't really need MUCH break in lol sweet) and than when i get it running right, sit behind the prostreets, and hang out for a couple hours just listening to the beast
