Building New cars for S or SS for 08? - Page 3

Finally I should be ready to put the motor and trans in my Neon (SS/GS). I was held up for the last month or so waiting for pistons to be remachined. The way they were I'd have had 17 to 1 compression. I should be down the 13.5 to 1 (going to double check tomorrow). Once I get the motor in it's make up a plenum for the intake manifold. Get the suspension, and alignment done. Get it to a dyno and tune it. And get some paint on it.
It's all downhill from here. I'll finally get to use my beautiful 48' lq trailer with slide-out

Jim, Keith already has it figured out. He got Shelby to write a letter, so Keith is running a 427 SOHC rated at 345HP next year.

Now Keith will stop talking to me since I ratted him out.

Dick, we've got the stacker, I'm just running WAY behind right now, so we're only running the one car, for now. But we'll be up to Division 3 a few times next year. You coming to Orlando for the PRI Show? We'll be there.

Dick--did you get the email I sent ? I will have the red roadster I bought from you going in SS/AA and plan on going to Phonix with my AA/SA also if every thing works out -later--Emmett

Alan, Yes I am coming to PRI. I will be contacting GM, FORD, CHRYSLER about the new cars and working on our TOP/SS and TOP/STK program to get in more places.

Emmett, YES I got the pictures. Got interrupted and will see them tonight. THANK you. Get a couple of those cars in the trailer and send them to Div 3 for a couple of races. You can keep them here and commute you know. I have this BIG empty Garage since selling all my stuff.
Anxious to see the Red Roadster....
Thanks again Dick

Dick...would like to contact you at PRI and discuss Div. 3 Top Stock for 2008. Let me know your schedule there and perhaps we could meet?
