Doing good. This fall is shaping up to like those I grew up with, nice and cool. Hoping to have snow like the early 90's to follow as well.

Anyone have recommendations on a good, reputable engine builder? My 1990 460 decided to **** out the rear main a couple weeks ago. Anywhere on the Wasatch front will work good for me.

I'm loving it too. Just like the falls I remember.
I have not used them but a few friends have used the tunex in fort union. The thing I liked that they did on top of the engine rebuild was to paint the block and everything. I have not heard complaints. If you find a good one let me know. I know my engine will need it at some point down the road.

Still upright and kicking. Busy at work, busy at home as well. Getting the toys winterized and put away for hibernation.

That's what I'm starting to do as well. And get my outside water shutoff before we freeze tonight!

Did the heart good to see snow yesterday at the refinery.

Crankshaft Grinders sound like the ticket for the rebuild, if I can get time to pull the engine myself. If not, they recommend a few shops to do the labor of stripping it down to a long block before delivering for rebuild.
