Suprised no one said anything about the pink diff.

Got like 3 hours of sleep then off to the motor shop. Speed O Motive, Remeber the name when you want something done right. Brian Crower got sent the parts directly and they went over all the parts, bored the block, ballanced the crank(must say it was just about perfect from the box), weighed and matched the rods and pistons, checked the line bore with the new arp hardware, pulled the head apart, found that the valve guides were bad and we needed to do the filming for the DVD with drifting.com today so they over nighted some in, painted the block and had it all set up for us this morning at 8am. You will beable to purchase the DVD of the engine build soon on drifting.com. Here are some quick pics, Alex from drifting.com and Bill Shoemaker, great head builder.








Well, bad news, I'm still missing some important parts to get the motor together in time (main bearings) and some odds and ends. So instead of splitting my attention between things, I just have time to worry about getting the chassis together for long beach. The count down begins today and think I've found some new sponsors, Mackin Industries for some cool Rays Wheels and Cooper for some tires.


7 Days till Long Beach
