    HA! Stopping the fuel leaks actually was pretty simple and quick. Found I also hooked the lines on the mechanical pump up backwards too, so at first it'd run for a couple minutes until the prime I put in the surge canister ran out. Did that twice before I caught on =P

    Over the weekend I finished the 12 bolt. I assembled the short block. Now I will degree cam and finish up. Hopefully it will be ready to chassis dyno on Sat evening.

    Still haven't fixed a thing but the oil cooler leak and the AC compressor. This weekend and next are going to be thrashes so I can take my wife to the Sonic in it as the first passenger of the car since the engine swap. She's stoked.

    I'll make it but the brakes might still be drums!

    Going out to put the cooling system in. Crossing my fingers for start up within two hours. Then fix the fuel leak, clean the carport up and head on a road trip with it. You know that damn fuel leak is going to take four times long than it should =P

    Here it's August 26. I picked up my new block yesterday. Now I have to file fit the rings and assemble. Waiting for heads. Have to pick up T56 tomorrow am and assemble the new ring and pinion in the 12 bolt. Hopefully this will be a screaming .030 302!

    Time for the left coast version! As Scott and others mentioned, its an honor to finish. I was one of those who only made it 30 miles in '05.

    HOT ROD Drag Week news!
    As of yesterday there are 101 cars pre-registered.
    Last year there were only 66 signed up by this time.
    It's gonna be a big one.
    DF, Mike, Turk and I were talking about this at Bonneville. Moving it west appears to be making it quite the draw.

    I might as well give up now - I'll never be in the league you guys are - but I'll have a hellofalot of fun thrashing on my junk just the same.
    Just like everyone already said, your goal needs to be "to finish". You NEVER know whats gonna happen during the week. If you can finish Drag Week in a car that you built yourself, trust me, you will feel like a bad ass after the last day is over. I dont care how slow it is.
    Im pretty sure the winner of BBPA in 08 ran in the 13's or high 12'sIf I remember right it was a teenager too!

    Last year I did not get to meet many BS'er at DW due to everyone being busy, and staying at different hotels. We need to have Chad get a photo of us all, maybe that way we can at least say Hi to each other.

    Which reminds me I need to buy new BS wear.
