Sounds good!
$1100 is cheap insurance if it means you never have to pull her apart.
For those interested, www.mahle.com has the 99 catalogue downloadable,
giving full schematics with all measurements, and even a search by size
feature meaning you can enter the bore size you want, compression ht, skirt
size etc and it will search for a matching donor vehicle. Even has Fuzzy
matching!!! (I tried matching fuzzies once, cost me $130 000 and she's still
here)
