Thanks and you are correct the most important news is that my Labwork is looking great and I just got told , this minute , the Virus Viral Load is now NEGATIVE and my Liver Enzymes are all in the normal range. As far as the PREVIOUS SHOP you are again correct , there is no telling what else I will discover but , it is in the correct environment now and in reality that is all that is important.

excuse my ignorance, but how did the motor go from blue valve covers and individual throttlebodies/velocity stacks, to the regular intake manifold and silver valve covers?

My engine never had individual throttle bodies , you must of been looking at the pictures that I took when I was at VAC when my engine was being built. Tony had a couple of show engines in his shop that I took pictures of for people to see. I just communicated with Florida and there is more of a mess being found that the PREVIOUS SHOP jack legged. I just heard from one of the vendors that worked on my car and he said he was told to charge me as much as he wanted because I was rich. The more time goes by the more people are calling me to tell me stories about what really transpired with my car , pretty amazing actually.....Pictures are promised soon....
