Thanks...yeah jon lives about 30 miles from me..I worked with his dad...We've been swappin parts all winter....Gettin closer to getting this big ol thing to the track.

Its too late lol.....

I have bought from Jon myself mt slicks and my alky carb that he let me borrow for a while to see how I would like akly before buying a alky carb.Is that your black and white he is building the engine for

I didnt build the engine, I just helped with parts selection and broke it in as all. I built the c6 for it, had Lenny build a converter.

Dave is about as good as they come, him and Billy both.

Yep thats it. I thought i would get to drive it a little more when i bought it but it hadnt been taken care of and had to pull the 466 out and replace it with a 545.....darn.
