Larry, your doing a great, quality job and making good time on it! Hell, I've been working on my DP for 3 years and will be lucky to have it complete by the Fall Classic at Indy ( this year...I hope...maybe).
Can't wait to see your completed Drag Pak at the Track. I'll try not to drool on it.

Found a used topper for my truck so I can travel with my engine secluded, dry, and out of sight. Topper was born black but painted white, of course my truck is black. And so it goes.....

Everybody have a great Fourth Of July, and please remember the brave folks that made it happen!

Toppers rule!

I'm not finished with the engine yet, and have started a to do list on how to improve serviceable and methods on the next gen3 hemi build.

A funny thing happened when getting all the sensors in a pile to check fitment. The adapters will not work, I need ------32, but I ordered -----23, just another stupid old man trick. Oh well UPS likes me

This goes in the category of a fly in the ointment. I had to have my right wrist worked on requiring several stitches. So this will slow progress, just what the Dr. ordered.

Larry,
Any of those one-sided knife fights are never any fun!

Heal up and get well soon, my friend!

Best Regards,

Larry,
Do everything the doc tells you to do and send in your entry for the "Big Go"!
Get well very soon!

I'm so lucky to have Patsy as a wife and racing partner, she likes racing. She is not very mechanical but would almost take a Bullet to get to go to Indy.

Today will be lite duty day. Clean and put up tools. Make list of things to take and do at dyno. Install injectors and fuel rails. Plumb return lines to regulator and other stuff

One head on, one to go!

I know what you are going through. RJ and i built our Cobra Jet from scratch. You will go through every emotion there is to say the least. The satisfaction when the car fires up for the first time makes it well worth it. There area few people who still build there cars from scratch and Mr Heath is one of them. We were use to working on older types of cars so the learning curve was pretty steep. Keep up the good work.

Today I'm off of the gal. of milk weight limit. The doctor said my wrist will let me know if I'm trying to do to much. First things first, get caught up on three days not doing much around our home.

I'm still waiting to here back from the air inlet folks on the fix, it's brand new, on how to get secondary to fully open.
