Got my engine back!!!

[Slow 85]

I finally got my engine back after having many problems with it. 2 of the cranks were no good, a bore was crooked, had to flycut the pistons, then, the piston came out of the deck .007. Nothing went right, lol. Now, I get it into the car, and find out I got a wrong flywheel from someone else (must have been from a truck or something different), the k-member has an engine setback, so I have to get the driveshaft shortened, and my fuel lines are not lined up perfect, so I need a couple different fittings for my braided lines.
Nothing is going right. I guess no racing at Esterhazy for me. Oh well. I should have it running early next week.
Hopefully once it gets running, all this bad luck ends.

Sounds like a bit of a gong show. Good luck with the rest of the build. Hopefully you can get it out this year still.

I should be driving it late next week.

Sheldon Ward did the machine work and assembly for me. It was a great price and he is extremely meticulous. Right now, I am having a few other problems. I didn't realize that my new k-member has an engine setback in it, so I had to get the driveshaft shortened. Also, with my new intake, my throttle bracket doesn't bolt up the same way, so something has to be fabbed up. And, of course, I lost a couple bolts that I needed (good thing I got my bro's car to rob parts from). Other than that, it is coming all right. How did you do in Esterhazy, Dave? I took the little guy, but he got bored after a while and we had to leave a little earlier than I wanted too.

Sheldon is great your motor should work fine he pretty well dominated the place there this year noone could touch him I ran well 8.7s all day consistently and I think I won every match your car should be one to watch next year thats for sure
