    Good luck. Don't rush it though. Make sure it is done right or it will cost you a lot more time.:)

    ditto on what Don says. I had a pile of parts like you 5 days before I was to leave on the Power Tour earlier this month. I rushed to get the motor together and had to redo things I messed up the first time. Little things like rear main seal, oil pan gasket I messed up re-doing the seal....
