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.

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.
