LOL. No defense necessary yet. The reasons for the delay are interesting for sure, but this is only a slight delay, so whatever. If I'm picking up my short block at the end of this week, it's all good.

Don't let me near your garage or that T56 will disappear.

Hope the cat pulls through I can't wait to see how she runs.

DG you should be talking about how cool it would be to actually putting your shortblock together at the end of this week

I gotta say... you are really good at managing YOUR task reminders for OTHER PEOPLE'S stuff.

I was just planning my trip to pick up my motor and remembered another big block was coming to life. Even if it's the wrong brand. Plus I gave up on yours ever running.

Yep, picked up my shortblock on Friday. Jason did a fantastic job. Extremely detail oriented and his experience with Todd's block allowed him to know exactly what to do with mine with no surprises. I was thrashing away in the garage this weekend to take some measurements, test fit some plumbing connections, and order some parts. Will have a long post with lots of photos this week or weekend. Will be installing the motor probably Wednesday and the transmission right behind it on Thursday or Friday. Then it will take a few weeks to get everything hooked up, driveshaft shortened, 2 primaries on my driver's side header to be re-worked for more clearance around the steering box, shifter and center console plate setup, Concept One serpentine system and accessories, power steering lines, PCV/breather/oil separater system, and other minor stuff. I'm not going to rush because this is the part that I'm 'supposed' to enjoy.

I find that I only enjoy taking my time and having "fun" on projects after I've rushed through them once and get to do them a second time.

You will definitely enjoy it when it holds together because you took your time and built it right!

Best part of this hobby is what I call the "hunting and the gathering"... Seems like when they're all done -- we're looking for something else to do/change/improve.
