best of luck, i hope she gets you there .. i have faith in that engine though... ive built a couple and they are pretty hard to kill, just keep oil and coolant in it. if the head gasket blows drive it until it wont run anymore. as long as you dont see coolant in the oil you should be ok, watch for the timing chain goin gthrough the timing cover , that will allow coolant in the oil and will seem like a head gasket blown. you can drive it that way too just not very far. i drove one like that with coolant going in the oil for over 200 miles, i just stopped and filled it up with water every 50 miles. good luck and keep us posted.
