HOLY SH...... er SCION! That thing should "accelerate smartly". My father used that saying while he was teaching me to drive.......as in "when you decide to pull out into traffic, accelerate smartly! (Love ya Dad). He was right about that too! To bad more people don't follow his instructions.........

soory guys been real busy at work and with the disney trip comeing up tomarrow and all.

the drive assembly is already at the machine shop. that was last i herd chris is sick today. cant wait to get this done lol. had to wait for the damn mustang to get off the lift lol.

how did a SCION get in a 383 build thread. come on guys keep it on topic. and pls dont spam my thread.
 
I expect I'll likely be out at the shop nearly every day once my new engine shows up from LME sometime next week. Maybe I'll run into you out there....
 
hope you do. i am off monday and thursday so i plan on being out there. chris was sapose to pic my vette up today but i gave him a day to get to feeling better. But i hope he pics it up tomarrow morning becuse i will be out of town at disney till sunday night.
 
Yeah, Chris wants me to bring the cradles back but I may not be able to do that till Monday. I'm almost done polishing them but got a few things going on around here Thursday and Friday. Plus I would like to hear from Bryan that the engine has shipped before we start making any concrete plans.

Chris told me it was actually a rod knocking in your engine.

You'll probably run into me out at Chris's shop as I plan to be out there about every day now that my engine has come in.
 
ya he drove it and told me he thought it was a rod bearing probubly worse then the piston ring but haey its all being upgraded anyway lol. rich dont be eye balling my ride now lol.
