After a 5 hour drive with only my thoughts to entertain me, I have decided to put off my engine rebuild. The only way I could afford to build an engine right now would be to use the money that is going to go to do paint and body on Mary's Squareback. Her car has taken a backseat to too many other projects (of mine).
I will be helping Mike with his engine and trying to learn as much as I can. _________________ 73 Typ481

Getting closer!!
Who plans on coming? Can we get a head count? What do you plan to work on?
We need some new cars to dyno!
We spec'd Mike's case today and did the machine work to it and his heads are now completed.. Just so ya'll know, I ain't building it- Just helping!
I have to work on my own goodies! _________________ Jake Raby

I'll be there in either the squareback or my bus. I want to dyno whatever I bring. If I have the bus there I would like some help getting it dailed in as best we can. Other than that, I plan to help Mike build his engine.
I have Friday off so I can get there at anytime if needed to help with preparations. _________________ 73 Typ481

Ouch. I DO have a backup fan just in case. Unless we have another tornado in our area, I'll be there Friday. I'm thinking you were referring to some other balancing too.....
