glad to hear you got your health incident under control !
having dealt with health issues of my own for years, i know [somewhat] how you feel.
it does bum one out because you can't, or are not allowed to do what you want, but as long as the interest is there, at least it keeps one's spirits alive.

Good you caught it. Prayers to heal up.
Doug

Glad to hear you’re doing okay.
Sounds like things could have turned out way worse.

Hang in there…… that track will still be there next year.

Hope you heal up quickly!

Good to hear you were able to get this minor health issue handled, take it easy for a bit to recover...then get out there and live! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Holy cow, good to hear the heart problems got fixed.....

We tend to give the racecars a lot of attention, but sometimes our bodies need it too. And racecars are a LOT easier to fix....

Heal up and get after it next year!

Thankyou everybody. Since I know there is more damage with the 549 crank and bearings, I have decided to go ahead and put the 580 cube crank in it. It will be a better match for the converter, it is ready to go with bearings, sitting on the shelf. All I need is a pair of .060 head gaskets to keep compression at 15.5 or less, warm. I will probably Dyno it as well, when ready. It may make sense, since the 580 motor won't need to spin so high, and the converter should stall maybe 6500, which should be closer to ideal.

I am glad you got fixed up Greg! Health issues suck so I say we all should spend the rest of our time left having fun and enjoying the time we have left!

my best buddy preaches this to me every time we talk or are together !

Glad to hear you got yourself checked out and repaired. There's always next year for racing.
