I was going to pull my W-9 today to find a oil leak at the back of the engine.... well I decided to put my back up W-2 back in... its been a few years since I fired it but it all looks good and cranks over fine so I'll put it back in and maybe pull the W-9 down to give it a once over and see IF I can find some more power in it

If there is some more to be found I am sure you will find it!! 
Good to have a reliable back up engine on hand! Good luck with the swap. Don't forget to turn up the AC in the new shop, its AFRICA hot out there today!!

but that was with gas... I'm going to run it on E-85
this time

what is the weight of your car ready to race?
2410 race weight... it could use a bigger roller
but it is what it is
Ted, I'm done for the day... had to find a few things
before I could do anything... I'll start the swap in
the morning when its cooler

sounds like a good idea! It hit 94 yesterday here, and it was 95 today when i went to work. Keep some water on hand if you can, or go in the air and relax and drink, then go back out. That is what i do.

That's a great idea! It'll be a better 'mule' motor. Take your time in this heat. When you planning on going out next?

Mike,if I wasn't getting the X ready to race this week-end I'd be over there giving you a hand! Still haven't heard what day is the T&T at Ubly!  Conflicting info on some Opie race! One person says saturday, another sunday! WTH???  Might end up going to Lapeer when it's all said and done! 
I posted in the Lapeer post that Opie is Saturday but
thats also TNT day.... I'm about 15 minutes from
pulling the W-9.... thanks anyways

They dont race at the fairgrounds, but they do race about 10 minutes away. It is well worth it, you should try to make it. Its a whole different world back there.

Chris... it got alot hotter in there about 2:00 or so...
I'm in no rush... plus I'm a retired old guy... it'll
be done tomorrow(hopefully running)
I should look at the W-9 to see if I can fix the oil
leak... or at least find the problem... if I have
any problems with the W-2 the W-9 will have to go
back in
