Happy March 1th FTE. Thanks for the new thread Hank.
Jim, I've been meaning to reply to your cam selection on the 300. It's short duration and high lift for max torque.

Hank you beat me to it this month. Going to have to get up extra early next month to try and beat you (if I remember lol).

Happy March 1st! FTE I love the day after a rain. No smog and I can actually see that white stuff on the mountains people call snow. Hope everyone has a great day. I am thinking of taking the Bronco to my favorite dirt road to see how much mud I can get on it.

Oops, forgot to mention in my above post, Thanks Dale for the cam info. Short duration and high lift. Got it. Now if I can just get a job, so I can get that truck down here and start modifying it, I will be a happy camper!

What the heck is it doing raining today? There was no mention of rain today, only yesterday. I took the Bronco out to get her muddy, and now it is raining to clean her up. I guess it is not a big deal because the more I drive her in the mud, the more I am liking her. So tomorrow, when the dirt road should be even muddier, I will just have to do it again.

I agree, well with the rain anyway, we are too low here in the valley for snow.
