    That's the payoff! Getting to actually drive it for the first time! Sounds good Mike! Wish you were going this year, I'd love to see it in person.

    I would have liked to go this year but I layed out tooo much money for this
    project... I need to fix my oil leaks(1 of the remote oil line fittings is leaking
    and oil is getting sucked in on the right pipe(at the ball socket connection)
    plus I want to change the ratio on the steering... its too slow(I'll shorten the
    steering arms which I made my longer to slow it down) but I dont like what
    I did on that

    I was kinda hoping to see a Pontiac in there Jim. Glad you made it over here, we need another talented and knowledgeable engine builder around these parts. Looking forward to seeing this one done.

    I'm not happy with the engine... the rings dont seems to be sealing
    the way I want SO I'm gonna pull the engine tomorrow and tear it
    back down.... I ran it this morning at 2500 rpm and at 195* for a
    1/2 hour and the smoke out the pipes never really cleared up...
    so its coming out.... oh well... no big deal... I can have it on the
    ground in a hour

    I pulled the engine and torn it down.. cylinders were shiney and the
    cross hatch was pretty well gone... I took the block into the machine
    shop today for magnaflux on the bores, hone and new cam bearings...
    I should have it back near the end of the week... I should have it back
    together on Saturday and back in the car on Sunday....HOPEFULLY

    Also what would you guys clean the oil out of the exhaust with... I
    was thinking spraying carb cleaner down it... but I'm open for any ideas
