WIll do, thanks for the resource. I have over the years enough of these engines breeding around the shop to scab parts, I have 2 ideas of what happened, both conjecture until I tear into it...
I dont know who is going to do the machine work, I have a guy I use but it all depends on what his schedule is he does mostly av work and right now everyone is getting ready for the racing season and the airshows. He can be as backlogged as crazy or doing nothing.
I need a good machinist I havent found one local. Not one I would trust with anything other than a lawnmower.
I asked Irv and I know who did his motor and have talked with them, they are an option, I think Ill be doing the next 2 myself. I have the stuff less pistons at the shop, so...1 mild, another wild....well start there, the old man has seen my motors and driven my cars, he knows as do I what I can and cannot do, so were both looking forward to one of :"Our" motors.
The guys in the pits have been great, no doubt and some very very good info, some insights into others things tranny and chassis setup we simply dont, didnt know and would have had to learn the hard way, the people it came from I have no question as to its validity.
Thanks Joe, I will very possibly take you up on it.
Cheers
Chris

The right engine builder is going to send you out on the track knowing everything right and most of the top notch engine builders are at most events to help out when needed.
Never feel to shy to ask for help in the SS & Stock pits, they are a great group of people and i have never seen anybody not wanting to help out a new comer to SS/Stock racing.
My father is a engine builder for over 40 years and we have a lot of customers running in Super classes and we go out of our way at the races to make sure everybody is running ok and we have even given them our spare motor, transmissions or what ever if needed.
Hope the best for you guys and remember call if we can help in anyway with machine work.
