Jbears 351

For what I can tell the performance is way up, but I will let Jbear and 79 fill in the blanks on that!

very cool, I'm headed to the machine shop this morning to check up on my project. With any luck I'll have the block back this weekend and then I can start having some fun too. Man what a long winter.

Allan you should be very pleased with those heads, At first I thought you would be down a little after looking over the cam spec you chose, But I was pretty impressed with the P's and the preformance products intake we installed. Need to tweek the throtle cable a little still and re-build the RWP for John and then there's that igniton issue too, in due time I guess. Real nice set up with the stock cam and everything else being stock a solid 4800-5000 top RPM now.

At first glance the machinist said no but I thought with the added compression it wouldn't hurt to have a nice clean deck surface. I'm headed over now to go over everything one more time before they start. He did say they would check for flatness and deck if they needed it.

79, I didn't go crazy with the cam but it's certainly not stock so I think I'm going to be pleasantly surprised.

I still have a OJ 13x13 and a 13x14 to tame the rpm's until I decide what to do for a CNC prop. Have a good one, the weekend is only 4 days away.

Hey MadMarxx,

Is that 79 waving so long as in try to keep up or was he just being friendly?

Wow, that's outstanding.

Jbear, Woah, stop the press here- where the heck did you get that shirt? We've got to make some midwest shirts I guess.

John never turns down freebies, Ken didn't you hook him up with the hat and shirt?

If that were the case, wouldnt the shirt have a Mastercraft logo on it?

The crew-reid and backfoot!

Not fixed...replaced. Difference in fixing and replacing was about $1000. Old engine is out...just waiting for the new one to come in.
