Post up your winter upgrades!

Well, its been very windy, but mild temperature wise. Due to a small mishap where my flex plate bolts to the crank came loose, I pulled the 512 two races earlier than I wanted. It was due for a freshen, but it ate the thrust bearing. Engine was prestine looking inside other than the thrust face...+300 passes and piston, rods, cylinders, head gaskets, etc all look new. The oil pan, not so much. That hit the track surface at least twice before I used a jack under it to assist with engine removal...

My plan is already well under way. I switched from Felpro .041" gaskets to Cometec .027" gasket, a light weight damper, and I am taking the intake porting to the next level. Today I will pick up the heads and see what porting I can do there as well. The car was solidly in the 6.1's and I am shooting for a 5.99 this coming season...I still need tires, and any light weight ideas I can accomplish...
