Head is already in Nebraska being ported, and I'm dropping my block off tomorrow to get it bored and the pistons fitted. I've got most everything, all that's left is to order a cam and a set of Cox rockers. Oh yeah, and figure out how to pay for all of it.

How much are the porting and boring gonna set you back? I plan on porting the head on my friend's 225, but haven't really thought about boring it out (which I'd most definately have done for me).

This one is only gonna be +.045". I have standard bore forged 2.2 flat tops this time. As far as the porting goes, if I tell ya I have to kill ya.

Hey Bagel My engine is up at Gary Bruners. Were boring it 100/thousands over 198 rods and Cox Brother custom Venoila forged pistons the bigger camshaft can't give the details . This should be a juice engine if we need it. Gary is doing the head work Hope you bring enuff hosspower next year. Ps guess who won footbrake today at our local drag strip yep you got it . Later dude Possum Parker

D'OH! I know I can do the porting myself on my friend's 225, but I'm just not sure if I wanna take the time to do it, what with having to redo the pistons and rings and whatnot when it's down. I don't think she can have that much downtime.

Hey can anyone tell me if I can safely use the stock pistons with a turbo? I'd like to use them, but if I absolutely have to go low compression pistons, I'll do that when I tear the engine down, just to save myself another teardown after it's converted to EFI.

Stock pistons will hold up well, IF you keep it out of detonation.

Congrat's Ron on your racing this weekend.

Don't get too wound up about Ron, Bobby. He puts a wig on and runs the "Powder Puff".

Hey Bagel most women i have ever raced are tough racers, so maybe you owe them a appoligy. Maybe you can race Becky and see what powder puff is like I know you are up to the challenge . I have raced her and she beat my butt, so how bout it bagel how about bagel in a powder puff race are you man enuff to do it.

That way you said "IF" makes me think there's a narrow window for setting the timing on an EFI'd 225

It'll have electronic ignition by the time I convert too...

Uh-oh, Possum got his panties in a bunch. Women don't skeer me anymore than you do. I had a guy put a .500 light on me and run dead-on with a 1 his first time ever at the track. How can anyone beat me worse than that? Please keep yakkin' Ron, we got snow today and need the hot air to melt it.

Hey Bagel you Dodged the point . I asked you why don't you ron Becky next year at Hamiliton and see if that powder puff stuff works for you. Beside your panties are the size of a good parachue. Hell i will put up a purse, get it , for our web site 100 dollars . The web site gets the money all you have to do is show up and race Becky. How bout it Bagel don't get skeered. talk to me Possum Parker

I gotta admit Possum, Becky makes me a lot more nervous than you ever will. However, if you're putting up the dough, I'll run her anywhere we happen to be together. There is one thing that she is that you will never be. FAST!
