Rambler Jack, Sumner and Ruth sailed off into the sunrise, Florida, that is. I think he bought a larger sailboat.

I just tryed to use the VE Analize Live on the MegaSquirt. That is a self tuning feature on the engine management system. It seamed to work pretty good, although I haven't driven it since, but have started it up and it seams to idle better than before. Also I just pruchased a Garmin GPS and now I can tell how fast I am going and with the laptop hooked up I will also have a tachometer, boy, things are looking up now.

Gary, It was great finally meeting you!

That little pickup is very cool, and you did a first class on the engine and installation!

Thanks again for the rims.

Here is the latest on the GMC truck. Didn't do very well at Drag Week last fall, lost the transmission the second day. Will try again the fall.

It looks like you went from a turbo to a blower setup.  Does it run better with it?

I thought I was super Kool with an Offy intake and TWO single barrels!!  8-)

A turbo and now supercharged!!  :cheers:

I have a 52 Chevy standard cab. Have had this truck for 24 years. Currently in progress on a restomod.

Got involved in this LSR thing and, well you know the "rest of the story"!

Please post more pics of the blower motor build!!!

I was looking at the 235 on the engine stand last nite. Sure glad I did not dump it for a SB.
