James, I'd love to hear about those comparisons! Any other bits of differences as well would be helpful too.

SG, Yep, I noticed that a long time ago.

Ah ha, that makes sense. I believe I'll be looking for some cracked LDS's once we're in TX then!

Bob, Where's your sense of adventure??? Of all the people here, I'd figured you would try something like this just to see if it could be done.... (hmmmmm, maybe that was an unintentional "I double dog dare you" challenge....). I'm thinking more along the lines of swapping pistons, heads, crank...
