Jay nice photo. It looks like Paul was asleep at the tree. His car hangs the nose high also. Those RTS cars are loose at the launch. They sure do work.

Jody it was Dan driving and he was seriously side tracked by setting up for the race. Plus Paul's trans shifted when it wanted not when you wanted.

Rocker arms were falling off the thing. Unfortunately we did not have any spare poly locks with us. You could readjust the rockers and in two passes they were falling off half the cylinders again. I started hitting the nuts with a hammer on the ground to crimp them more. Kind of almost worked... Well not really it sounded like a diesel by the time it was loaded up for home.

Poly's on the new motor this time.

Only waiting on a new drive shaft to show up. His old one was looking rather beat and unsafe.

Jay how is the motor coming?

Mark,

I would love to say I am picking up the motor tomorrow..but its not happening. The crankshaft from moldex (up your way) was suppose to be done in 5 mos and I believed them...and planned accordingly. But, it showed up 7 1/2 mos later. I had hoped to make Norwalk but at this point VMP will be a stretch at best. Anyhow,Mr Pbody now has all the pieces of the puzzle.My hope is to engine dyno it here before I put it in the car..if there is time.My chassis dyno guy wants to compare the numbers with his dynojet.

As far as the rest, I now have the Th-400 and the new converter. Also finishing up on my new lighter rear end.

You know how it goes...
