Yes Greg, the heads are all they took? Honestly, the way the rest of this year has gone, I really haven't worked much on the car since Tod and I spoke with you at Ohio Valley last fall. Another engine combination we've considered is the 78 305 Chevy 2 barrel. I'd need to change the nose, fenders and hood, make the car a 78 Formula. That would make it a legal NHRA car. Wouldn't be as fast as the crate motor, give me a lot more options to race.

Going by Jim's post, until I speak with the insurance company, I really won't know how big a loss this is?
