Mark,
   It will be about 6 to 7 weeks before I will be done with mine. Most machining will be done in West Coast.

Convince my wife to let me...

I am going with a 80.5 mm stroke, add counter-weights to crank, lightened flywheel (weight is added to the crank so the flywheel weight can be lighter).I will need to shave 2.25 mm off the pistons. I will then ceramic coat the pistons and combustion chamber to keep the heat in the combustion chamber.  Also the head sealing surface will be coated with a ceramic coat to eliminate the corrosion problem.
I am also coating the valves to decrease stem wear.
I am buying new hoses all around.
I will spend around $3K to $4K when it is all done.

Robert
