dont think im coming down on you for this, but more as a friend. If you got it all done right the first time, you would be further ahead. Why do you need to rip motor out again? let me go over your set up, come down on a weekend b4 you put the car away, and as long as there is nothing wrong internally, we will have that thing running like it have never run before. Remember, all it takes is one or two small things done wrong in order to make a car feel or act like there is something seriously wrong with it. Even something as simple as an incorrectly routed vac line can cause serious running issues and from our conversations over text, it wouldn't surprise me if there were some small things that need to be addressed.

A side note...

Just from a personal opinion, you should never let a company control the parts on your car, regardless of whether they are free or not. Once you agree to those kind of things, you are bound to go where they want you to go to show it off and in the end, not only are you required to do these things for that company, but you still have to pay for part of the set up in the end. Do it on your own dime and your own time and make it fun, don't make it into a car show work schedule or you will lose any passion you have for it
