Hey pampered, one of the best ways to keep you from scratching your roolbar is wrap some painter (blue) tape around it, thats what we use at work to keep us from scratching the gelcoat on the surfaces we walk on. As for the engine portion of this thread, Im vote for you finding another smallblock, and just dump it in there for now, and hope your other block isnt too badly scored. so you can have a block you can really tinker with and not be time constrainted.
