That 780 is still very much of a project, but it will certainly be awesome when it is finished. We are still undecided about the engine, but it will be backed with a T-5 Tranny and road gearing. Right now I am working on the interior which looks like pigs wallowed in it.

Used motors are cheaper than rebuilding yours, although, if you do go into yours to the point of rings and bearings, I would recommend spending the money on getting it balanced also. The ones that I have torn down are several grams out and could spin a lot better with the tolerances closer.
