And it wasn't just my decision alone. I do, however, take full responsibility for my actions. Something in short supply apparently. :-roll |
How funny I was just thinking about this same subject just days ago, I miss all those guys mentioned.
Someone should contact them and invite them back, let them know how valuable there opinions are, and that they are missed. We still have many great knowledgeable people on this site, don't want to discount them |

Exactly. Things change. Go to a bar for 10 years in a row, some of the old timers move on after a few years, some new ones move in. One grizzly gets drunk and starts picking on the newbies. And gets ejected. Permanently. Another stands next to the bar yelling about how great the beer is that he makes at home. Some friends of his leave with him when he's told to be quiet. Another bunch sitting in the corner get tired of the commotion and go home to sit alone or with a friend or two in their own backyards with a cooler full of beer. Another group of people, tired of all the flashing neon signs on the walls for all the various brands of cheap beer, go find another bar where the clientele is trashier and move abusive, but there aren't any neon signs flashing in their face every time they visit. And in turn, they are allowed to abuse the rest of the patrons. Especially the newbies.
Hmm... that's a pretty good analogy right there :-X03 |
Dang Art, that is a pretty good analogy. From all the websites I've been to in the last 15 yrs, not many have the same "big" people around. They come, they go.

Happy 4th everyone! I still chat with Russ quite a bit. He's doing ok. Maybe he'll see this and say hello? Lloyd I haven't heard from in some time. Hope he's ok. Barry's a good guy in my book. He's been very helpful to me everyone and still see him post quite a bit elsewhere. I REALLY like those new heads of his. Things have been busy for me but still lurk here from time to time. Nice to hear from everyone and hope all is well~! Keep at those FE's!! Best engines ever. :-X04

I am still kicking. The Falcon is at 850 hp now, and I think I am done. I don't want to go into the 8's so I am finished with increasing hp. I am changing out all the glass windows for plastic, and remove the hand cranks and mechanisms. This will lighten the car by about 100 lbs. Any more hp might split the block. Barry has a fix for that with a all aluminum block, but I am content with being able to run in the 9s. In fact I am going to dial it back to run 10.0 to 10.3 so I don't have to run with a full fire suit in this hot weather. I don't come on this site much anymore, due to most forum members are interested in stock information. There are plenty of people here that can give information on that. |
I had to change my browser in order to post ? Dont know why but did ! Still here after all these years..Most posts I go to usually have been answered 10 fold by the time I read them.. Hello to one and all ..and to the Ol gang also ! :)

Hello Russ;
Glad to see you are still around. I never heard back from you since I sent you those 428 heads. Did you get them? Free was a good price. Did you repair the one that needed welding? I don't come on here much, so I will check to see if you respond in a couple of days. |
Glad to see you guys still around... been WAY too busy at work to actually check in much. Gotta find an underling }>

Hey Art, Lloyd,
But i try to help the kids and some of the guys when I can..stock or not..a motor is a motor ..No matter how many cubic dollars have been added to it Many of the guys ask what cam is best, what heads should I use, what rockers are best, etc. etc. Since this is a truck forum, there are many inexpensive answers to those questions. I don't think many of them want to spend $2,000 on a roller rocker setup like we use. Some might, most don't. Barry has an aluminum block that is stout, but it is around $5,000. CNC Edelbrock rpm heads with 2.25 intakes and 1.75 exhaust valves from Kieth Craft flow a ton, but are more than most want to spend on the complete build. So that is what I meant. 434 Build Photo by Maxtor427 | Photobucket |
