Mark, things are going well. The new driveline came in, and is installed, as is the clutch and slave cylinder.

New blower restraint belts showed up, shifter is done, and new fuel tank showed up. Randy will fab up the tunnel around the new shifter location this weekend, and we have a little fuel plumbing and electrical to finish up.

All is well in our world!

Thanks guys!

The car should be complete this weekend. Randy is installing the fuel tank today, and finishing up the plumbing.

2 Go-Pro camers are on the way, and we're about ready! Randy will probably update this with pics in a day or two!

Trent, that's for sure!

Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in running this mill in a proven lakester or liner? In order to make the engine shorter, it would be switched over to turbos.

That's right-I'm trolling! :evil:

I think the XXO/BSTR record might be attainable if someone could find a driver not dizzy.

Wow! I can't say enough about the guys on this board!

We'll be at Stainless's house this weekend, dynoing this beast! With only a few days before B'ville, this is a huge imposition on Stainless, and I'll have a helluva time repaying him for his generosity!

Videos will follow!


Thanks Stainless! :cheers:
