Tipton County GET TOGETHER
The best way to meet eachother, - is to meet eachother.
Who ain't skeered?
There is a not half bad steak house in ATOKA -
I liked the $10.99 extra rare I had down there a while ago, it's (I think) called the "Claybrook" and its out by crosstown, behind the Penny Pantry.
Any Y'all wanna meet for a dinner sometime soon?
I'd be pleased as punch to see y'all....

Wolf, I'd be up for a meet. I know just about where Atoka is. I went to the go-kart track there a few years ago to watch the races. Maybe we could set a date and get some people interested in coming!

I'd say a weekend, or friday night maybe - Saturday might be better, as most folks git home friday and just want to sit down for a while...
Then there's also Memphis Motorsports Park - I should see whats up. The racing season is HERE! If there's a race worth seeing, and a dinner after, it could be a double event. People could go to one, the other, or both...
Lets set an initial date of two weeks from now, and fine it down as things shape up - in the meantime, I can scout a few more eats houses, but I really was impressed with the last piece of stear I got at the place I mentioned. Man, I can still taste the way it all but melted in my mouth...

I hear ya there, Wolf. Check out MMP's schedule and see what all goes down and when. I would be interested in a double-event myself. I think it would draw more attention. I'm banking on a Saturday afternoon/night event. An afternoon at the races and the evening at dinner with some excellent chit-chat... That's what I'm talking about!
I'm with you on the two-weeks notice... That would give us plenty of time to see who all's interested and who isn't so I can make reservations, get tickets, etc. etc.

I have to back space - I just got a load of new job related bills on me.
I'm not solvent yet - but am looking at a few more weeks to climb out of the mess I'm in.

Things look better - if I get paid this monday, I can finalise a friday night, or saturday night at the end of the week.
I apologise for all the uncertainty, but I had to be sure I was making things happen, rather than being driven by events. So far, it looks like a go!

PS: I just rolled my second day doing supervised installs. Week is over, I'm off until monday.

If it had a smallblock in it to begin with, it should go without a hitch. The underside of the frame mount, or saddle, will have a stamped list of engines that it fits.
-See my gallery, I swapped a V6 truck to a 302 a few years ago.
All the frames are similar, but the engine mount saddles vary between big block, midblock, smallblock, V6, and inline six. The driver side ones are rivetted, and the pass side ones are bolted in. If you have to get a set of frame mounts at a boneyard, be sure and get the bolts before the yard crew torches the rivets out! That will give you a full set of bolts for both sides.

I'm hoping a certified letter that I need to claim at the post office is a check I've been waiting for. That will make a lot possible. I'm really stretched thin at this point, but I think I can get up and giddy-up if things go well on monday/tuesday.
Its turned out that working for direct tv is tougher to get into than I thought it would be. The delays have ate up all my reserves...
