I guess you know how fast your engine builder works.

I'm thinking that my engine is probably done.
It just started sleeting here after being in the 60's and 70's up until a couple days ago.

Not yet, probably being dynoed early next week......
You know,
Just in time for the first snow storm.

I am conservatively thinking that the 2 hours left worth of work can be accomplished within 4 or 5 days.

I had to dig up a fly wheel to put on the dyno.
He had an 11" bellhousing and a 130 tooth wheel.
Starter missed by a bit.
My good friend Alan Prusiensky let me borrow one.
Just sayin.

Thanks Budnicks!
Hopefully, she only makes 3/4's of a shitload of power as I still have a stock block.

I only got 1 year out of my belts, but 2 years out of my tires.

That’s easy when you have jack stands; oh wait, what did I say! C’mon springtime!
