OK, Don't you need to use my engine hoist to pull your engine? Sounds like I'm in control here.....Just kidding...I think we are dependent on each other to finish these projects...May 1 seems reasonable for my car....check out my updates.

Actually, I have a track event at Summit Point, April 18. Hopefully, I can attend both!

Okay, I've decided to go ahead and pull the engine this Sunday (in the cold). I should have my new stroker in about 4 weeks and want to reroute the wiring and paint the engine compartment. So I figured I better start getting it done.

John (silversport) and David (oldstyl) are coming to lend their expertise.

We'll shoot lots of pictures and keep everyone updated.

Looks like the weather is going to win this round - hopefully next weekend.

Hey Dave, Tim,

All of this positive energy is killing me, I need to release! Can I join the race?
I just received a set of new TFS TWs, a custom cam, and custom 680 Holly DP. I have a re-shined 3:55 pumpkin, I bought last fall to install. I'd like to make the Cowles show a target date, as well.

Ken - Welcome to the race. Let's get these cars ready for the Cowles show! (and in my case hopefully for the EMRA Time Trials at Summit Point, April 19)

Well, the weather did stop me from a full day working on the car, but I did get some of the bigger jobs done. Pulled the Monty Carlo Bar and shock tower caps, labeled all of the wiring harness and got my hood suspended from the ceiling of the garage.

Tim
