Trust me, after 25 project cars, I'm not an idiot...I'm already deep in a GN project so I was hoping to not fully disassemble another car haha. I didn't consider the shavings though, so you're right the engine needs to come apart. I'd rather not have another project car, but these cars are rare and I don't want to miss out on a "mechanical" project car. But I also don't want to drop $3500+ on a motor in a car I'm not looking to race. If I wasn't trying to keep the car "numbers matching", I'd buy an LT-1 for $500-1k and be done with it.
