Nice, what colors, any mods at all, last 4 of the VIN? Any pics available? Everyone will agree that we like pics. Welcome to the brotherhood.

As mentioned, used ones (and new ones) come up on Ebay. You can also go to http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2...T5K&itemtype=K

I know it goes against what others have said, but I have had great luck using Gunk on the motor. Stand by with water and rags. A pressure washer has worked well and I have even done this at a car wash several times. I spray the Gunk on liberally, let it soak for just a couple minutes and then spray it off, keeping it away from openings that will lead to the engine valley as much as possible. I wipe the motor down quickly and start it right away. Never had a problem. You might check the drain, a little tube by the lower bellhousing area, blow air, or run a coat hanger up through it to make sure it's clear. (Do this anyway)
