We had special guest of HONOR in the shop also
I don't know about special , but it was nice hanging out there today. You and Pap have a serious mill in progress. I was drooling over it more than once. The best thing was mine got a good bill of health and got a big from BG. I did ok for a begiiner I guess. Now it is decision time.

Man I hate when you and Ron know more speed secrets than me!
Now Bob, you know I have no secrets. I think you have a good handle on things from what I have been reading on here.

Hey Allen, you don't want to know what I thought when I first seen the heading of this post.. Just one question....was this good experience by the hog pen ??
Way to go Vinnie, I was hoping to enjoy one thread today w/o it turning into a farm animal festival.
Someone told me he keeps candy back there in a secret hiding place I am also told he has some special sauce out BEHIND the barn?? I figure since I don't owe BGR any $$$$$$,,,I should be safe
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

Well the bearings looked better than I ever expected. I was kind of upset I tore it down, but I just had to know how it was holding up. BG was going to do a little more looking over the block, but nothing at all looked out of the ordinary except a couple cam bearings he didn't like. They weren't worn bad, just not exactly positioned dead on.
Plans?? Well, I wasn't upset at all with the way the car ran at the track or on the street so I am a little undecided at this point. No secrets here, if anything I am going to throw a little more cam at it in a roller more than likely. The recently announced sale on rockers really helps if I go that way.
I have to talk to a few people, look over some finances, and go from there. A new shiny block like yours is in the plans for the end of next year so not sure how much I want to sink into this one now.
OH, I did survive the Hog Pen. It was an interesting day though, but they always are at the Pen.
