That's probably a good solution, Lloyd. One thing that I can think of as far

Kinda like the cars sitting along the side of the interstate highways with
about $3000 worth of new wheels and tires on them.

Otherwise, there was one owner I read of, that sawed off the cast
ears

Wouldn't it have made more sense to plug the holes, and re-bore them?
