Well, as many know, I have a couple of projects in the works....And I do not watch any TV, and that include football, until it gets too cold anyway.

So as you know, I did get my 70 Cuda running....Took it to the track, made two passes, broke it. Somthing in the valve train, not sure yet. It had the wrong cam in it anyways and I don't think it liked street use, so now, we will be replacing that. Been talking with Tim at FHO, but he moved to Florida, and I suspect he has a lot of work on his hands at the moment. ....So after I get the issue fixed, I have to decide, do I keep it and try and get the power out of it I think it should have, or sell it and go a different route? I did get a data log of the run, learned a few things...

The lawn ornament has been getting worked on, and today, it got a well used boosted engine I picked up...Never owned a set of Trick flow heads, and now I have a set of 270's on a 440 based blower engine. It was run on E85 with an 871, and made lots of HP.....just need an intake, a blower, and an oil pump. I got the complete engine minus blower and oiling system.....I even got the E85 carbs...So I will be researching blowers....

I also pulled the rear end out of the lawn ornament, and the Dana has a 4.10 posi...A cast yoke, and a stock stamped steel rear cover...Its getting a spool with 4.10's and a nice support cover aluminum unit, and a billet yoke. The 1/2 studs are also an issue but might have to stay for now.

I also thru some flat black paint on it to keep it from rusting for now...Made a big difference..hopefully dry tomorrow.

And lastly the Duster, never sold it....Still have it, collected all my parts and built a new 400 based engine pictured. Just needs rocker arms, push rods, oil pump and cover....And a good carb or maybe two if someone has a TR they want to part with....I got the new Indy 325's on it..... pump gas....new Bullet cam.
