hi folks,
some news from my "new" engine! Tim McMaster alias the Y-block-guy is almost through with the rebuilt. Looks great (see pics). The engine will soon run in a motor-test-stand (brake in) and afterwards starts its long journey across the pond. Hope to get it in January. I also bought ramshorn exhaust manifolds and a dual exhaust system from speedway-motors to have it shipped in the crate with the motor. Not sure if I'll install that exhaust system directly with the motor or give it a try with the stock crossover-single exhaust system. But I'm tending to the dual exhaust
. I'll keep you updated!

Hi Abe,
Tim will secure the motor safely into a crate. As long as there's no hurrican passing the way of the container vessel or the name of the vessel is 'RMS Titanic' everthing is fine

That is beautiful. I'm a stock guy, but I would recommend the dual exhaust. Well.....the crossover pipe is unique.....
Maybe you should keep it that way.
Whatever you go with, it will be beautiful.
I would go crazy having to wait that long for it to make it across the ocean.

Hi Joe,
well -to keep myself away from chewing my fingernails, I decided to start working on the truck, that will keep me busy until the motor arrives here.
I need to replace the steering box and there are some other minor things to do and adjustment to make. Since the days become shorter, the weather colder and wet - the driving season seems to be over for the year. Time to start working...
