Hi!
I just recently dragged a 440 big block through your neck of the woods.
Unfortunately (Well, for you, not me!) I live here in Harrisburg, so I won't be making that trek again for a while! Luckily, just about anyone heading up from SC/GA/FL would be coming through I-77, so I'd have to think that SOMEONE will be able to convoy with you.
Regardless, it's not TOO bad of a drive - maybe what, 9 hours or so? Could be worse. Hope you can make it up!
Jeff
