Dave, how fast are you going to get that BMF back up and running? It's going to be a beast. Giving any thought to bumping up the compression and running some triple digit octane?

Scotty - thanks, and so glad you made it bro.. it was a blast and so much fun with the whole RTC crew there. I am so glad your car and Eric's made it strong thru the weekend. Your car was a beast and you (and Frankie) did very well for your first outing. The car is tits man. Can't wait til we get out again somewhere...

Well, the motor plans are being concocted immediately.. not sure on timeframe... got a few more parts to procure... and the engine builder to lock down... Todd's step-brother Pettis would be on the list but I really want to keep this vendor local. I'm done with long distance vendors if I can help it... here is my short list of local engine guys:

http://www.lewisracingengines.com
http://topofthehillpc.com/
http://www.yelp.com/biz/robert-canci...chine-san-jose (built Karl Chicca's current motor)

You got any other good leads?

And I still wanna go pump gas for street driving and to maintain some sort of identification with "pro touring"..

I've heard good things about Lewis from Jody and the guys on Chevelles.com. He does tend to be a little backed up though. I'm with you on keeping things as close as possible.

DG1 (and only) <--------- this is obviously a SWEET SUE influenced referrence.


Sent you mail... My motor in the Mustang - and several of Charley's race car motors were built at TOE Performance (Tony Odo) in Suisan, CA

Dave,
I live in GILROY and have a few motors built by Cres over at GILROY automotive machine he does great work and I know he builds quite a bit of motors for the guys that do dirt track over there in Watsonville he may not be well known but he is as local as you can get and his work speaks for its self. Ps when's ric having another BBQ!

Yeah I know who Cres is... he's friends with Rich... he did some work on my heads last winter... the work was fine... but I was told about a price he did a very simple 383 stroker motor for someone recently... and that was the end of it for me.

I have found my engine builder and the guy is legit and local to me (Gilroy is not very local to me -- it's just where my car lives ).

My new engine build has commenced... and I'll be posting details soon.

Another BBQ needs to happen soon at RTC I agree!
