Thanks vette man. Sometimes you feel like you're flogging a very dead horse. And Dick, that would be great, but
I know I ain't ready, and I doubt anyone else is. I have 3, count em 3, spec motors, a 289, 285, and a 322. But NOTHING ready to go nationally. Dick, all joking aside, what's your thoughts on limiting the crank to nothing knife edged, or factory castings only? Stroke not an issue. Could do like we did, and make all put a 1" plug in pan to check out crank. Also, rings> Would you limit them to .043, instead of the new $1,300 rings? Would require tear down. Just things to think about. I have a lot of ideas to try to keep the cost down. Also, when is the PRI show? Might try to get there, and talk to some of you guys. Let's be careful, and not let this die because of over confidence, and over thinking this deal.
