Go for it man. This winter has been weird. We've gotten more snow in a month than we usually do annually. As of late in the Denver metro-area, every season we'll get one big storm and thats about it. Usually it'll snow a few inches and be all melted off within a day. This winter has even been that harsh and its way worse than is the norm for CO.

yeah i'm building a motor for this guy, and he gave me the irons, 3 rotor housings, and one rotor. so i say dude, i need another rotor etc etc.
so he gives me a core FD motor. so now ive got nice irons, a pair of rotors, etc etc.
1 rotor housing, is good, and ported
1 rotor housing is bad, and ported
1 rotor housing is an s5, so the spark plug is in a different place
the fd motors rotor housings were trashed....
