Jbear,

Yea i hear ya......I just turned 38 and it's amazing how you really start to feel your age!Thats why i have a$$istants.....You know to help me to get up when needed.....

Maybe someday i will find my mrs. like you have? for now still searching

Jbear,

I Doubt if that old 312 would fit in yours it's what they call a Y-block.......Kinda wide stance and not shure if it would fit under your motor box??? You wouldn't want that thing anyway compared to the powerhouse that you have!

My a$$istants...??? Well i'll see if maybe when you come up to KC i can have some a$$istants a$$ist with distributing some beers for ya.......Sound ok?

Take care john

Paul,

hey rob,

Let me know how much you want for the GT-40 just curious......Wouldn't mind having a back up if it's not too much....Hopefully it could be bored to take out scars in cylinder wall?(a GT-40 in a cla$$ic???)

it's the project thing for me really.

hope to see ya at green lake,

Paul,

John,
Some people (ie.. my wife) says I need to get one project done before starting another.
   But then on the other hand , she's been saying that for over thirty years!...guess Im not a good listener.... In fact, the last couple weeks I've even been doing "house projects" ..need to make some more brownie points for when I do get back out in the shop later this month!

jbear,
thanks for the offer (i think?)...actually "grandma wood" has suggested (very strongly) that I work on the 70 Chevelle , all boat projects on hold til further notice...

I don't know what to ask for it. It looks like one of the pistons actually "shrunk", and was banging around on the cylynder wall...hence the noise at GL. The head on that side is off, as well as most everything else required to get down to the pistons on that side. The head on that side will need to be gone through, because the exhaust valve has metal shavings from the piston and cylinder wall in it. The easiest fix would be to resleeve that cylinder, and hopefully you'd be good to go. The engine only has 273 hours, or something really close to that, on it.

BTW Steve.....that Skier wouldn't be a "dog" anymore......

Boat's getting a crate GT40 over the winter. Found a great deal on one and couldn't pa$$ it up. It should be good to go by spring. Not a good boating year for me in 06...hopefully 07 will be better. BTW....anyone looking for a good deal on a GT40 that needs to be rebuilt.....I know where you can get one relatively cheap...heads and all

Rob
