Connie and I just got back from a trip we took to the Maryland/DC area yesterday and Chris tells me the new engine from LME showed up on Friday. He says the heads are an order of magnitude better than the Warhawk heads and the RHS block looks much nicer as well. I'll be going out there on Monday to take a bunch of pics of the engine. Chris says he is going to be getting everything set up and lined up, and get my car back on the lift that day, so I can get a load of pics and yet be out of his way. He is going to send me an itinerary so I have a game plan and have an idea of what to expect is going to be done each day. Of course, these plans are certainly going to be fluid, since I know Murphy's Law is watching over our shoulders.

But at least next week things will be rolling again. After 6 months, you can BET I'm ready to have my car back...... :yesnod:

You plan on going up there any other days other than Monday next week? If he doesn't return my stuff by Wednesday I'm going to be up there.

Actually, unless there is a day that I know specifically nothing will be going on, I plan on being there every day till my car is finished. I've got the calender completely open for the duration. This is PRIORITY ONE on my list and hopefully it is PRIORITY ONE on Chris's list as well

Well hope it gets done and everything to your liking ASAP.
