I take it you are going to keep the supercharger now?

It's still listed for sale, I just bumped the price up to what I think it's worth, rather than my previous "quick sale price."

If it sells by the time the engine is rebuilt, then I will go ptuning, if it doesn't sell then I will just keep the SC and spend the left over funds on making the car track ready and start really having fun with the car. I'm so torn between both of those options that I will be happy with either honestly, so I'm letting the universe decide for me.

Sounds exactly like me and my turbo. One week ago someone could have had a brand new precision turbo for $500 but that was too low so I decided to run it and switch to the Borg I've had my eye on

If the block has been rebuilt I would hope they replaced the seals when they rebuilt it.

I'd go through the head, get a good valve job, replace the seals and upgrade springs and retainers while you have it apart.
