    Got the car back.
    It was 200. less than what I expected...that's good news.
    Much more torque and speed than before, and the intake volume is almost non-existent...now just the rumble of the Roadster Sport 3.
    Something looked a little fishy about the Thermostat housing but couldn't place my finger on it, and the heat shield accidently got left off in putting things back together.
    The hose leak is fixed with a clamp.
    The valve cover doesn't quite match the rims but for the price it's ok and looks good.
    I am taking the car to Gary's house Sunday to get the Heat Shield put back on and have him take a look to make sure everything is ok.
    I am fairly confident everything is going to be fine.

    I will take some pics of the engine bay tomorrow after getting the inspection and cleaning the car up.
    Thanks for all the advice concerning the rebuild.
    I will be out driving the hell out of it tomorrow.
