nice! it may come down to a mad rush at the end but i think we are in good shape. headers might put some things on hold until last minute when they show up but....what is racing without the last minute scramble to get it together?!

speaking of racing, i havent heard from my brother. i think it was a mud race so i bet he broke things or toasted a piston. i dont think i will ever run another mud race in my life. its like a suicide run for the machine.

Been a little while... figured I'd poke my head in tonight.

Might need a favor from anyone on here. Off topic, but I'm looking for a 2.3L Ford block (or complete engine) for CHEAP, doesn't have to run just needs to turn over and not have cracks. A friend of mine was having a Mini Stock motor built and the builder discovered stress cracks. He lives in central MA and I figured I'd try to help. Everything else on it doesn't matter, whether its efi, carbed, turbo etc as long as its cheap.
