Coming Together,....slowly
Well,.....
After sitting on the sidelines all last year, due to a Rocker Arm breaking late in 09, I let Jet Boat Bob re-fresh the engine last spring, so I'm good to go there. I just got off the phone with Lenny @ Ultimate and got my converter ordered for the ol' C-6 tranny,......So that's another (critical) step closer.
All I really lack is a good Trans-Brake for it and I'll be ready to rock & roll. Probably have to go with one of Jay's units @ Broader, since I missed out on getting one of Frank's.
I'd love to upgrade to an SV-1 carb while I was at it, but that will have to come at a later date.
Hopefully I can drag my hunk of junk to the bash this year.

There is a new one for sale on here somewhere, I think it is a t.c..i. 275.00, damn good price.

Nope,......
All he has left is a couple of modified TCI units and those are not really recommended for anything over 700hp.

Get to wrenching there princess
I'm actually going to transfer your trailer today. I'll ask about paying the taxes for last year, not sure how that works. I had to pay the taxes on the trailer I sold last fall but it was only a few $

And to think, I thought that "I" was slow about doing things. LOL
Looks like we both need to get off our butt and get busy.

I will be like you now, Racing is going on the back burner for awhile. So the truck will just get covered up in the garage for now.
