It carried them way out there and started drifting a bit. It wouldnt suprise me if you tripped the beams with the back wheels.

A few parts have started to roll in, waiting on pistons, rings, pins right now. I'm still a month or two from getting it put together I'd guess.

Rick I'll probably go next friday and sat, with my wife's car. I had a lifter bore get egg shaped. I'm hoping to get it back in the next week or two. Don't you just love it when you ask when is it going to be done and they say tuesday or wednesday. Then you call them on wednesday and they say probably next tuesday and then they say we just ordered your bushings it will be 4 to 5 days before we get them then it will take 4 to 5 days for us to put them in. It's like asking my wife for sex, oh not tonight maybe tomorrow but tomorrow never comes

That sucks they gave you the run around on your block. My parts for my rearend should be here Monday so Im going to get ahold of you on those tires. I should have it back together for Mokan on Saturday.

That sucks about your engine. Getting the runaround will definetley make you mad.

Hi Rick, You can tell by the 330' times whether it tripped the 60' clocks with the front or back tires. I went back and checked the times of ours and a 5.55 eighth mile we had about a 3.63 at the 330' mark with a 1.304 - 60' and tripped the 60' clocks with the front tires. Ours generally only goes about 1.40 to 1.42 if it get them with the back tires and would still run 3.63 at the 330' mark, it doesn't happen too often.

Hey Harold, By looking at that I would say you are right it went 1.314- '60 and 3.606- '330 . Thanks for the input.
