My gosh, I am exhausted. The new heads and cam are in, degreed and set. The new TH400 is in and the new driveshaft has already been shortened and re-yoked and is in the car. Greg Merrick came down this morning and has been a life saver on this.
After Pinks is over, I will start a new thread about the race, events, and most importantly who to thank.
I can only say that whatever happens, if it wasn't for the extreme kindness and generosity of Greg Merrick, Steve Hodge, and Michael Roberts, my Pinks quest and season were over. I had already arranged with Bandimere for a possible replacement (either Greg and his wife Trisa, or Steve Hodge) to take my place. Not to sound all mushy but I will be forever greatful for them and my wife. Today was my (gasp) 40th b-day, my wife Theresa and I were going out to dinner. Instead, I raded a Taco Bell and we had Taco Fest at the Hudsons!!
As for whats left, we need to put the radiator back in, finish hooking up the headers, install the fuel induction system, torque converter bolts, dipstick, and fluids fluids fluids.
Thanks for reading!!
