Thanks guys. I appreciate that. Just getting too old for this *****.
Hauled the new Bowtie block up to Patterson's today for machining , and ordered pistons & rings.
Going to lighten the crank a tad. Don't want to get in trouble there.
Need to decide on headers. The ones on the car are like me. Getting too old & ugly.

Best luck with it Ed. Enjoy it.

Supposed to pick up my block, pistons & rings at Patterson's Friday.

Front Santuffs came last week. Got the upper mounts finished yesterday.

Sounds like you're on a mission. And you can't be on a mission....unless you still like it! I think you still like it! Hope you take the time to really enjoy this one, just in case it is your last one.

Ed can't quit. Who will I talk to at the races? Plus what are you going to do go fishing???

Ed Wright · 01-24-2013, 06:45 PM

You know I won't be fishing. LOL
I still love it, just harder to do the work anymore. Getting too stinking old.
