Worst week ever. Routine recheck of main cap torque ... ARP main studs . . . . Block threads stripped on #2 bolt on the center cap.
Might be "game over." (I can't see how I could get the short block back from the machine shop, reassemble the long block, get it into the car, measure for the shortened driveshaft, and get it all back together and running without any more time off before 7 Sep . . . .)

I bet I was one of very few people in the world who installed a line lock AND a trailer hitch on their race car over the weekend LOL. I undid the hack wiring on my trailer and will get the car wired this week and I can hopefully get a test tow knocked out. I have had this trailer since just after DW12 but have yet to do anything with it other than new tail lights and repack the bearings.1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S 340 with a 360

There's 2 weeks and one day before we leave. I hope I can keep from breaking anything between now and then. I have one trip planned, 30 miles to Bisbee for a car show that a friend helps put on for the B&G club.My fabulous web page
