Working on Plan A and Plan B for a helmet but car has new shocks and starts. A little power steering leak never hurt nobody.

The orange car doesn't have a wiring harness, intake setup, exhaust setup, hasn't been dyno'd (or even started with the new motor). So exactly on track to be ready for MSR-H, can't wait!

Helmet in hand... sans HANS anchors but that's easy.
Dyno or AIX... is that the question?

I have shocks/struts and picking up the engine tomorrow morning before leaving for the banquet. It's going to be a crazy few "weekend days" to get this pile back together.

Trying to put the rest of the car back together tonight, re dyno tomorrow, track day Sunday.
Not much sleeping going on this weekend but can't wait till Sunday night when I finally put a race ready car away in the garage. If nothing goes wrong sunday I won't have to touch it again before the event.
Well, I'm getting the short block. When Richard was getting ready to finish up the valve job, and found two valves that would be pretty thin once cut, so Summit, here we come. I guess the engine will wait until next weekend to get in the car. It will have about 5 min of run time before practice on Friday. Yea!

I have been wanting to build a motor around that block since Ford offered it. It's the product of what Ford learned from the Boss 302 (iron block) and Cleveland/Windsor motors.
I just patched up the engine in the 55 tonight. Cylinders are pretty scratched up and one head and all Pistons were damaged by detonation. I honed the cylinders as best I could but the scratches were too deep. I dropped down to 9.75:1 compression ratio with new 18CC pistons, new rod bearings (just for giggles) and got a used head from Kevin. Jay is driving down tomorrow to help me drop the engine in. I hope this POS will be okay. It was running damn good with all he detonation damage including one ringland broken. It was going through a quart of oil per race.

Jerry,
Looks like everything is getting slopped back together last minute. LOL
