For some reason I figured anything plastic wrapped by BHR would also be covered in vaseline. May haps I was mistaken.

You aren't the only one... but I'm too far!

You're not too far! Charles and I actually discussed shipping an engine here at some point last year or more, before i decided to learn how to do them (and again, he helped me there as well)

someone has to ask.....

Any chance this could turn into a full blown BHR offering? An engine exchange program with this kind of build?

I'm sure if you line people up cash in hand, BHR will accommodate. However, it's probably fairly labor intensive so there would be a cap on how many engines they could turn around a month (a handful?) and still get anything done on the side.

Ray rebuilt mine already and there ain't no way Ill give this engine up. With the HP it's making I'd be foolish.

Your very right there I should have said the BHR bunch. You all had a part in mine

I'm always good for providing moral support, drink refills and the fleeting punch line or two.

Lemme say THIS much; unlike when I rebuilt my engine back in MI inside my "serial-killer" shed, I was very happy to have my surgically-clean garage in AZ for this build.

Having the room to work and the tools to do it properly is a great thing.

I have been known to do car work once in a while! I'm sort of like the lochness monster in that regard. I'm rarely seen but it it happens it's always blurry.

Alright!!!!

Just have to move the schedule to the right some and we should be ok....

Tell Erick his painting looks siiiick!

As for lightening; Ray said it best - also in that same convo with Ray and Kevin from RR is going 3mm Ceramics; and the same issue kept coming up - if a rotor gets jacked up or cracks due to the material removal - the motor has to come apart again; to save a few ounces it just isn't worth it for a street car.

Danngggggg--i didnt know i was doing motor mounts for this kind of beast

This is going to be one hell of a "beta test"

I should have realized the leatherneck connection--me 5 yrs a long time ago.
Give Ray a lip smack on that shiny skull head of his.
