    New P5 buyer

    Hello Alchemist. Where do you stand now? I'm not too far away and considering whether to rebuild or get a used engine myself. My power aspirations are not nearly so high and I plan to go normally aspirated.

    I'm new to the forum, I bought my blue bomber new and took delivery off of the truck!!! She now has 235K (miles) on her, original motor transmission (replaced the clutch at 198K). Last oil change was the first time I've had to add oil between changes. I'm certain the bomber will see 300K
