Thanks man. And for his repeated helpfullness I promote kyle from rank of captain obvious to commander obvious.

But ANOTHER ride? I didn't think that you had been one of my passengers unless it was a ride along at an auto-x I have forgotten about.

I believe my ARP rod bolts should be in this week which will allow me to finish reconditioning my rods and put my short block together.

Once I get my $1500 check that is 'in the mail' I will then have the money for my new valves, springs and guides so I can finish working on the heads.

I am hoping that it should be an eleven or twelve second car when all is done and I have a set of 275/40-17 drag radials in the garage to help me find out.
