***Update***
Due to some unforeseen financial problems I had to sell the International. I only sold the cab and bed so hopefully I will be starting a new project before to long!
In the corner collecting dust and has been a good catch all for quite awhile now. We just moved and things are startin to get back to normal and the new job is goin good so I'm ready to get back on it. Hopefully have some updates soon.
I still have it, been really busy with a couple job changes and a recent move and family stuff now that everything is gettin back to normal I plan to get back on it!
I wished I would come across a pile of 350's for free!!! :D I spend a lot of time on my hot rod too and just because a 350 sbc isn't appealing to you doesn't mean its not to others. One thing I like about the 350's is when I take it on a long trip and I'm out in bfe if something breaks any...

Truly sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope everything works out for you and your kids. As far as the IH goes, it sounds like you got a good plan, just keep collecting parts so when you do get back to it you will have most of what you need. Good luck!
