Hopefully that is going to change soon! It's tough looking at the pretty pieces and not being able to do anything with them. :(

Well we will have a race to see who gets back on the road first. Mine could be anywhere from 2.5 to 8 months. (Skip knows where that line is derived from :D)

Damn Dave I was looking forward to having a shot at beating you with an unfair parts advantage. Way to bring things more even again.

At least I will be a member of the AC and subwoofer club :)

We are basically gonna have totally different cars so it's anyone's ballgame. :unibrow:

I don't appreciate your AC and subwoofer remark. :lol:

Give me your code, man! :D

Oh I dunno. No new news really. Just life, marriage, house, and budget.... constant juggling. :yes:

In other news, dropped off my carb today and looked pretty good to the guys. Mike said my block needed some work (shocker). The bore ranged from 4.1490 to 4.1495 and now is all good at 4.1554 across the board. He said depending on which piston company he'll order from (CP or Diamond) will determine the size of the piston because they apparently take their measurements from different points on the piston. Interesting.

Next I need to go grab all my accessories and hopefully reusable parts from the 377 and take them up there. Hope to make it to Rich's shop Saturday.

Dave, what do you hope to reuse? Maybe if your over there for a while I'd be able to stop by in the afternoon and meet you in person. :cheers:

Oil pan and pump (dry sump still considering), distributor, timing gear, damper, water pump, alt, and I think that's it. Hopefully most it is in good usable shape for Watson approval.

Yeah if we are there def stop by.... I heard you stopped by the other day and brought the requisite 6 pack for Rich. Atta boy! :D :cheers:
