I'm fine - should be able to get the second rebuild in the car this month. My surgery was emergency related, but not life threatening... Lets just say it was and is a major pain in the *** for now. lmao

Dan knows, and has offered to come down and wrench soon. I will get the numbers up this month dammit. I miss my freakin' car!!!

It was at the office for awhile, just now had the energy to go get it and bring it home. Should have it dressed out and hanging on the picker for when dan arrives to help shoehorn it in Friday.

Nemesis: not sure if you mentioned it earlier and I missed it but was this motor built locally?
did we discover the cause of the last motor going?

Nemesis8

Mazmart rebuilt it. Should be good to go now. Trick engines... I must say Paul, Rick, and the "Doc" upgraded it on their nickel. They are looking for numbers I believe!

The build starts tonight

First tank of gas results:
287.7 Miles
13.338 Gallons
Kept it under 5K revs

that's a great result ...... but not the one we want

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

I have confirmed we re-used the bearings since they only had 8K on them. Going to run 500 miles, change the oil, run another 500 miles, then check AFR's. If all looks good, I am off to Portland to dyno on the same rollers as before.

I can already tell you, this version is tight and strong. More power down low - cannot wait to open it up.

There is going to be a meet and dyno runs at Cobb on 8/14. Might be a busy day but if all you want is a couple of runs then you should be able to get on. I will meet you at the dyno

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

I will not require tuning, just a number, so 2 runs only. I could go first and warm up the rollers -

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

I will come down sooner than that. I fly out to Indy on the 24th.

Let me know when you plan to be there and I will do my best to show up.
