Congrats Mark - If you are not hitting it hard at the track then it should last.
I've been through just about everything on the manual and automatic side including a Rodney & went to the turbo400 as a more durable solution for a track junkie

Congrats on getting the car out and having fun. Dr. Phil delivers another one onto the streets of Motown. 
Please remember when merging onto to 696... just because there are four lanes there... it doesn't mean you have to use them all.

Come on, Mark, a properly machined motor shouldn't require no 1000 mile break-in. What do you think low budget race cars do that can't afford dyno break-in time?
