Well yesterday I picked up my block. Freshly bushed lifter bores. Thanks Joe Borschke (Stenod) for pushing it me and also thanks Dan Doyle both at Livernois for making that happen. Joe pulled some serious strings and got my block finished for me. It looks great.

Then today I went and picked up my new cam that Joe Overton had made for me. Thanks Joe, and thanks for the speedy shipping. Tomorrow it becomes one with the engine. Man what a piece

So finally, the pieces are falling into place. Now to fit it up for head gaskets and whatever other surprises are in store for me.

Roman

 

Woohoo! Thanks Stenod!

 

So were you getting worried because of Taner's new engine, so you've built a new engine too?! Oh boy, I can see this is going to be an interesting summer!..........I can't wait to hear some of the stories!!

 

Good to hear that Roman

The big day is less than a month away

Glad things are coming around for you. Can't wait to see it fire up and get some timeslips going.

No problem Roman



Glad we could help you out



If you need anything else, you know where to find us now. Let me know when you get that "pig" done, i am sure we could arrange to throw it on the rolls for a few pulls before the big event



Stenod

 

Thanks Joe.

How many different names do you go by? I can't keep track of them all.

 

get ready to start thrashing! maybe sunday we could drop the motor in you never know. see how fast you can get the head gaskets, and we will be in business!

Joe,

you guys going racing this coming weekend, tell you know who to get his a$$ up to St. Thomas with us! will be fun for t'n't.

some gearboxes will be raped come Saturday!

 

Thanks for the fresh intake. That made my life easier.

Now to finish the small amount left on the car and wait for the motor to make it's way back home.

I picked up bolts for it and will start putting the intake back together.

Roman
