Dude, just piece it apart and ship each part individually US mail, that way you can have Joe clean every part when he unwraps it...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Congrats on the engine purchase (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Joe, I would like to schedule a build-up as soon as MW's is finished. I would like to beef up my 3.2 a little though, so I can still beat MW. I need to make up the weight difference (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Take it to work and put each part in your out going mail pile (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
