It's my daily driver, I put about 3000 miles a month on it (already put 14k on the 408 since it went in back in January)
I got tired of the chunky cam that was in there before
The engine spends about 90% of it's time below 2500 RPM

No, this is retarded. 
How long until you get it back up and running? I like reading happy stories of automotive successes.

Now it's going to be 2 or 3 weeks once you get the engine.
