No worries, more time is always better for the cash flow these days
My consulting money should be coming in soon, so I'll be able to buy some car parts on a clear conscience.MJ

Since I am making the trip to Kearney NE in August I am going to pass on this run. I have 2 good blocks laying around waiting for a deal like this but the $$$ just isn't there these days. What head gaskets do you use with a large over bore?? Are the Remflex (going off of memory on the name) gaskets large enough??? |

Chris, The Felpro head gaskets are just barely large enough, and there are two different Aussie types that will work (ACL and Permaseal). I will try to get Brian to keep 1-2 sets on the shelf for future ordering. Lou |

I would love to take advantage of this but will also have to wait. I am trying to concentrate on custom frame and suspension components. Hoping to have rolling chasis by this time next year. |

Sounds good, Menko. I'll get back with Brian Nutter with a total count of 5 sets, and will try to get him to make at least one extra for his shelf. Likely these will take 4 wks or more, so that may free up cash for some folks. If anyone else wants a set, let me know ASAP. Cheers, Lou |

I am talking to Brian Nutter today or tomorrow. If anyone else wants a 3.504" bore piston set on this order, let me know ASAP. We have 5 total at the moment. Thanks, Lou |

Hey Lou, Thanks for taking the lead on this. Sorry I dropped the ball on you guys waiting for feedback from Brian on timeframes.  I've been a bit pre-occupied with other things lately. I'm glad to see this is still moving forward.

Lou/Rob Shouldnt the other order for the .085 and .105 be about ready anyway? I thought the lead time was about 3 months on these from overseas. Ill need 2 sets (1 of each) but not ready money wise yet. Just trying to get the correct scoop. Thanks, Frank |

Lou, I am going to need a set. I want to get the pistons and the k-1 rods. Need them within 3 months. Do we need to prepay? |

Brian Nutter called me and they are making 3 extras of the 3.504" piston sets (after Menko, Aussies (2), Greg, and me) for a total of 8. They have a production due date of 9/11/09. There are no plans for 3.485" at the moment, AFAIK. I still need update on the rod sets from K1, and will hopefully have that info soon. Best, Lou |

Thanks Lou for keeping us updated, its most appreciated. I am definitely in for the rods as well, so if that's going to take longer than the 9/11 date, no problem. MJ |

Lou; I am still going to order 1ea. set 3.504, I need some dome machining done, about 20cc reverse dome. I will discuss that with Brian at the time of the order. My motor is a 8.821 compression ratio blower motor using a Eaton M112. I have calculated the dome to be about .120" deep if I keep its outer edge completely inside of the ring groove below it. I will discuss that with Brian at the time of the order. As I am sure there will be an additional charge for machining. I am also going to order the K1 rods. Put me in for 1 ea set of pistons and 1ea. set of rods Thanks Jim |
