I did. He had issues with water leakage, and he just epoxied the thing together.

Actually, that was a comment for the others as I assumed you'd read it.  But I expect there are some that can't stand Chevy heads on a Ford - the why of which is explained therein.

Ok. Yeah I understand all that. My opinion is that its all metal. Im not brand loyal at all. If its a good piece of engineering, then its a good piece. Dont care where it came from.
