this event.

Skippers.... This ain't no $35K big whoop monster motor... it's a friggin' cheap azz Smeding crate 383.... nothing there to get all excited about. Jus' a little SBC. They built millions of 'em.

Well.... that... and I was busy trying to dial in the stacks and get timing set and keep my thighs off those pesky headers!

I'll take the Go Pro next trip when it actually goes out and prances around a bit. Unless I pull a Todd and forget to charge the dang little thing!

Glad it went well, it is always fun to fire it up and see what happens, what leaks, and what needs adjusting.

The horsey "prances" came in there because it's Ferrari red --- and their symbol is that horsey thingy....


As long as I'm posting (a whore as Todd correctly puts it)... Here's some Billet Specialties Billet Bling.........

And the bling continues.... as does progress towards a finished product in time to make the trek to Santa Barbara. Got some of the castings back from the chromer

My name's not even Weld and I'd put those bad boys on my ride!

Good looking parts Greg!
