    Has it run yet? I can see guys hanging on the trailer while it is going down the highway doing the run in on the cam! That would even beat out one of my last minute thrashes.:) GD is looking a little stressed! I see one big a**ed party coming when this weekend is over.

    Looking good, .125 extra lift is going to give that motor some real serious grunt in the bottom end as long as the duration stays close to stock. I noticed that when you started it the first time that the exhaust was not hooked up. I usually try to have mine hooked up so I can hear what is...

    Wait a minute here! I thoght the steering box was being done the same time as the starter. You mean you have been driving without power steering or just a semiworking and growling steering. I have one of those. That is NOT a fun job. Rick

    I could spend hours just wandering your property looking at stuff all over.:roll::grin: Rick BTW, Check the oil pan behind the starter and make sure it is not rusting out. Go with the later model starter, spins easier and does not draw as much power. Oh yea, it is a LOT lighter to push up there.

    I have not made it to the end of the thread yet but I saw the bit about the stainless bolts in the exhaust. You might want to rethink that. Stainless is soft and the threads gall as they are put in, once heated they will break right off coming out. The M-151 has that problem all the time. I...
