Many years ago I had a customer in the very same situation. He ignored my advise and rolled the dice. The engine lasted 82 miles. He was so disgusted with his choice that he sold the car with the exploded engine.

I know what you're sayin. I've been weighing that since I did this. I'm in no real hurry since the car is now parked till spring so I've got time to really dig into this.
Thanks again for the input Henry! Always appreciated.
