Wheelz'. You know he'll do a V-A-R-O-O-M or 2 b4 it's back together. I'm the only one I know of that has NeVeR V-A-R-O-O-M-ed That's my story & I'm stickin' to it.

Great news Perry. Sounds like you'll be set for '08.

It sounds great Perry. Keep us informed on the progress, but it sounds like it is all coming together for you.

Sounds great, Perry! bp

Good to hear your back at it Perry!!

now it just wouldn't be right not doing a vrooooooooooom or two, he's been out of that thing quite a while now.



vrooooooooooom, it does a racer good.

I'll get the youngest out there - he'll sit in there and varoom forever - of course then my belts don't fit me anymore

Hacked at my pan a while... In it's last configuration, it wouldn't come off the engine in the car. I'm planning on frequent bearing checks with this engine, so it's going to come off in the car. I cut the front out and made a nice pattern out of cardboard - it still hits when I pull it down to clear the oil pump - more hacking required...

My new Titan oil pump arrived - it's one massive thing! I hung it off the bottom of the block to check pan clearance and found a small problem - the pickup is an inch off the bottom of the pan... And I gave them the measurements too - guess it'll go back for some adjustments. They sent me the wrong intermediate shaft too - for a 392 distributor when I'm running a small block distributor. A bit of misscommunication there, but we'll get it worked out.

I got a chunk of aluminum formed for the front of the pan. Just have to make a jig to bolt the pan down and it's time for some aluminum welding practice. It's been a while some it may not be too pretty

Figured I'd better go through the heads so I can get them to the machine shop to get freshened up. They had been sitting in the corner and I'd kind of forgotten about them. It's a good thing I remembered - looks like I've got a few bent ones that will need replaced.

I got a new digital camera for xmas. Once I figure out how to use it I can post some pics of the mess I'm making

Sounds good. Looking forward to the pictures.
