So I was ready to build a mild stroker engine, but the machinist was booked for a few months. So I built a few mini bikes and I also ended up moving a few miles away and have a huge garage/shop now. I just finally installed my natural gas heater since I relocated it from my last garage. Today I finally made time to get the car running. The battery was dead, the lift pump was wasted and a fuel line was plugged... it's running great now.
