Very cool. I’m looking forward to Clay City. I assume this means Ryan is coming. :D

Well the truck ran fine all the way down to Knoxville for the last race. However Ryan was driving it! :D :D On the 1st or second run it barfed up something in number one cylinder and smashed the plug shut. Also had massive amounts of blow by so our racing was over for the weekend. But we still had a 500 mile trip home! After a few hiccups on the way we made it safely home in 15 hrs instead of the normal 9-10. :D :D

I have had an engine on a stand for over a year and I decided to just get it ready before I pull the truck engine. Cam is a little big for the truck with and automatic but we shall see how it does. (Still a lawnmower cam though)

Here are a couple pictures before we do the swap.

Also this picture shows the "plastic" cam button that Matt Deemer has made up. When I installed mine and checked it I had just a tiny bit of clearance without doing any mods to the button. No chance of an oil leak at the screw that I would usually put there. Thanks Matt!
