Thanks Del! I can't wait to get back, and dive back into working on the old girl again! (Planning for the future, so I'm not thread hijacking hehe)
Slowly but surely this project will get underway again in a big way!
When I get back, I plan on doing the engine rebuild, bore it .03 over. Then upgrade a few other parts, pushrods, comp valve springs, stage 2 injectors, T500 HPOP, HPX and custom e-fuel, and finally restore sensor wiring and connectors.(for now ) Hopefully I can do a big portion of it done in about a month or so, gotta send in the HPOP and Injectors though.
Finally, paint the block before I slap it back in. I'm thinking Ford green and midnight black for the color scheme. It is an IHC 7.3 block though, but I don't really like the international color scheme, and the block didn't come painted IIRC, especially when the future paint scheme on the truck will be a sexy forest green with black accents.
I think the mail room is going to hate me, I'll have quite a few packages waiting for me!! And they'll be heavy too haha!
Hope ya'll have a great, safe Thanksgiving holiday, and get ready to bag the big ones! Enjoy a cold one for me at the Christmas party!I guess I'll be missing out this year, and no venison jerky for me either

Well there has been some talk about the Christmas party this year-
Some people want it near Wichita- Some near Manhattan- or Emporia and I am guessing there will be a vote for Abilene.
I want to skip all the drama we had last year- We will list some options and vote - most votes win!
Remember as in past years there are people from all over the state that like to attend. (Wichita- Lewarence- Manhattan- Abilene- Nebraska SE Kansas)
Soooo lets get the first thing out of the way---
Where is it going to be this year?
We already have 2 votes for Wichita area that I know of (Clint n Garret)
We will also have to decide on type of food? (Mexican- Pizza-Chinese-BBQ-Burger- Else?) Which will decide the place- (If we have it near Wichita I know of a good BBQ place that can cater.)
I will have to say that Pizza Ranch in Emporia treated us well last year!!
So what is your vote?
