I actually don't know. To be honest I don't think so but who know's. I shot him a email so I'll just have to wait and see if he responds w/ good news or not.

Glad to hear that you are still alive. You didn't say later or any thing, what's up with that? Do you have Dirk putting your motor together? If you want me to I can go there and take her for a spin, you know a couple of 180 mph runs, some burn outs and maybe a couple of kills to post(J/J). Keep on posting and keep us up on the happenings at the track. Later dude.

I guess I was irritated. I don't know. Yes, dirk is doing the work. You can go to his shop if you want to see it. Shouldn't be more than another week or so. The engine is in, he is working the supercharger and exhaust. I can't figure out how to upload pictures to the board. Otherwise I would show you.

So it is finally getting to be fixed again! Glad to hear!
For the pic upload, just click here, enter your board user name (fbody97) and password, then you can go all the way down, click "Browse" to select a picture to upload, de-select the "Used in Memberlist" checkmark, then "Add Picture" ... once the picture is stored, you can click on it to find the full URL, which you can use on the img-tags in the forum ...

Damn Dave, didn't even say bye to the nice guys!  Anyway, I'm glad to hear you PCS'ed, only because I am jealous, and can't wait to leave. I hope you get to drive it this year! Later man, and good luck!

The heads look like that because he painted them black to help prevent rust. the valve covers are plastic LT4 models. These are only buildup pics. The engine is in the car. He is doing his best to finish this week. He is sending more pics of the final product but I haven't checked my hotmail in a while. I don't want to estimate on power. I'll just say enough for now.
