Looks like you did the right thing wrapping the mini-starter to keep the heat of the headers off...good job...Can't wait to see it first hand... Keep the photos coming..now we need some of the 'secret project' photos from the "land of Paradise"....Maybe sergio can sneek in a "mini camera" and take some photos for all of us to enjoy.
Any news on Doug Powers "170" project?

It's going to be a while till Kearney. We'll play it by ear.

The pay cut we just took doesn't help much. :roll:

At least our CEO got a nice bonus in eight figures....

Not a secret. 300 Ford Valves.

There's got to be some reason for the Hell statement. I haven't quite figured it out yet.... :?

They are .010" longer than Mopar and are smaller in stem diameter. Head diameter 1.78" for intake and 1.56" for exhaust. Need to use large bore or a bore notch for valve clearance. :!: :!:

Huh, I thought those wheels would have brought the tires completely under the body. How wide is that rear end anyway?

I have a '68-'70 B-body 8 3/4 with the spring perches already set up for an A-body. It will fit under your car just fine with +40mm offset wheels. I'd sell you the housing and axles since you have all the rest and I also want to keep the 3rd member. It's even painted up nice.

With all this rain, it's hard to get anything done to the car!

I sure can't paint. Too cold even if the humidity wasn't so high.


Snort. :roll:
