If you have any influence over Florida Highway Patrol, maybe we can make some sort of deal......

I will have pics of the MOTOR next week...

As we get some bigger parts in driveshaft, trans etc I will def get pics of all that stuff too..... most should be here by late Sept begining of Oct.

I know you are sooo excited Rich you cant stand it ~

[Rich Z]

OK, but you NEED to let me know when that stuff comes in as well.

BTW, I mailed off a check for the transmission on Friday. We couldn't get over to the shop then. I had too many places to go and things to do. Plus had another concrete guy come over to see what I needed to have done so he would work up a price.

Oh yeah, I need to get that chromed alternator bracket and aluminum steering pump pulley to Chris. I've got to root around in my work room to find all that stuff.

Yeah, you might say I'm looking forward to this build.......

BTW, what is redline going to be on this motor when it is broken in?

Yea he figured it woudn't hurt anything

[Rich Z]

Yeah, well 3500 rpm will be better than 3000 rpm...

I need to compile a list of everything here on this thread so I can keep myself straight and not forget something when the old drivetrain is pulled out and the time is ripe to do everything that SHOULD be done at that time. It's REAL easy for me to forget things lately.....
