Well another Change in Plans!!

You guys start saving your pennies,and Income checks!! Come spring I'll have 2 428 blocks up for grabs and a 1U 10/10 micro polished crank...

I have decided to step up with the big boys on another FE....

I'll probably have some C6AE-R's and some D2's and maybe a stock set of C4's and some other odds and ends..time will tell what all I'll have by then...

Russ

LOL..Brian, I think you know where i'am going with this..w have talked a bit about it... Lets put it this way....I cant afford an Aluminum block, So Pond, Or Genesis (Genesis) is very rocky right now..I have heard some bad stuff about the castings.. But Royce just bought one and he's happy so far with it?? But he hasnt built it yet either..and I have my name on the list for those heads we spoke about..

Looking at a few months on those..a little change in tooling...

Your a bad Influence Brain!! and I cant afford to have your habits..My pay check doesnt come close to yours!!

Well that sounds really cool there bud! I hope to join you but you know what I have going on so we'll see after the move how things settle. Those blocks are worth a pretty penny I'm sure you know! That cash will give you a really good start on things. If I can swing it I'll be in with ya. If not the 433 goes as planned. These kids of mine are not getting any cheaper to raise! Don't even get me started on the wife! LOL

Good luck bud! We're all pullin for ya here!

That build is wicked your planning no other way around it!!!!

And those heads!!!!!!

Yeah man!

I can't afford my habits either! Fortunately, with the exception of the tranny, I have most of the expensive stuff bought. I did some math the other day, though, and found out I could take 400+ pounds off my truck by building a tube frame and coilover suspension for it. Throw in disc rear brakes, the new lighter tranny, and a few other little trims, and this thing could see 4000 pounds wet. Hmmmmmm......

Russ, are you ever gonna actually build something? I'd hate for one of us to move on to the next world before you actually fire up one of your "plans" :-)

I wanna see that post from Russ where he fires something up for the first time :-)

Git 'r done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has definately changed shape since the first plans. The problem is that it keeps getting meaner every couple of months. Maybe Russ should just skip the next few changes and go right for the injected, 10-71 pressurized, methanol burning, all-aluminum 526 Hi-riser. Something like 1500HP should do it. Mileage 'd suck though. And you might jerk the tongue off yer boat trailer.

Why's everybody always pickin on me!! LOL... Greg..Boy I'am just like every other gearhead...never satisfied!! I just had to be realistic in the 433 build...and what it was costing and what little difference it was too do a slight upgrade..Its not that bad at all.. I meen 10K is 10K?? right and 12K is 12K right?? I need another cup of Coffee!!

And G,and Scoot, dont push me...I might never get anything built that way and have a shop full of parts..and nothing running as I have been!! Dont confuse an Old man..LOL
