Great stuff Ron. Gotta spend a lot of time with your girl so you can get to know each other and work out all the bugs. Seat time, seat time, seat time.

I think Bad Ron has made all this up.:rolleyes: :underchair:

He did glaze over when Brad and I started talking about everything but LS motors that part is true. We were talking about some Hemi builds and a couple Limas builds; what a cook Bill Coon is and the advantages of a forging over billet in a block.

In each case Ron asked if the made a billet accessory drive and matching valve covers for any of those motors.:lol:

Brad was telling me about the Med riser and Cammer he had just built this year and asked what made me do a Tunnelport. Somewhere between Brad telling me about the 302 TP he had built and my mentioning the round port RAIV pontiacs and RAV TP Pontiacs Ron said uncle and we left.

Just imagine how many times I have listened to Ron discuss the various ways to finish and care for billet parts and never said anything.:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :cheers:

Yeah, I'm with Benny Parsons here.... I'd expect to see some first time daddy video here with some road handeling action.

So he outran some old man in a corvette?:lol:

Happy to see you out enjoying your creation...

Does your steering wheel return to center both ways as it should? Does the power assist differ in one direction only? Is it heat sensitive?

Man wind him up and watch him go!! :RunninDog: :D

You remember the part about me asking about Pond blocks, Hemi geometry and Kasse heads, right? And the forged block yes I did have glassy, sorta envious look in my eyes. The billet vs. forged was for your benefit, Brad and I already discussed that when Marcus and I were looking at some Katech/Dart blocks that Brad talked us out of.

Yep, the uncle part was true. :cheers:

Oh, and Coon is a good cook? Who knew? :lol:

Hey Todd...I had stiff steering after the motor warmed up in my driveway and I pulled out. Also had some weird corner experiences in the canyon (stiff then power assist) but only a couple of times. I would not say it's heat related as the car got much hotter later and the PS performed well. The pump does not whine and the belt appears tight. I haven't dug deeper yet, but I will.

Thx Bro :cheers:

Oh, and Coon is a good cook? Who knew? :lol:

I only remember before I left your house FedEx dropped of a set of wheels :lol: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Sorry about the confusion on Coon. I don't know if he can cook. I just know everyone I know who has dealt with him says he is a Crook, thief and a liar. So I was describing him as a Kook.

You didn't answer Todd's question about the steering self centering if you let go of the wheel. I'm guessing he is wondering if the issue could be alignment related.

Yep, that or a tight ball joint. I do agree that you should put some miles on it.
