I knew this was gonna be good :popcorn:

Ok, I stopped by the shop today and spoke with my builder. He said thee engine builders have started on my LS-3 block that will be sleeved, and have all the good forged rotating internals. He told me the heads will be going to the machine shop on Monday, and to go ahead and keep my car until Thursday or Friday since we dont need to tear it apart to get started. He knows I'm headed for Brazil, and told me to drive it while I'm here... Way cool since the work has already started...
I went to TGIFridays in San Antonio for our regular Friday night hang, and had a blast, at least until the cedar pollen blew in... peeps were sneezing, loosing their voices and coughing to beat the band... Fortunately it didn't bother me until I was leaving and closed my hood and the layer of pollen looked like the car had been in a dust storm... WOW... I'll drop Brandi off Thursday, and leave for Brazil Saturday, so it shouldn't hurt too much... My builder will be adding my car to the customers build page as well as seending me some pics so I'll be able to keep up with whats going on.... He will also be sending me e-mail updates so that will help also... More soon... |
They may have the short block ready before you leave? :thumbsup:

Bruce and I talked about shadow stripes, he mentioned having Sleeper or something in his hood cowl, and I asked him if I could use lil Sleeper... |
visited my builder today, he confirmed that my motor is being built and it is going to come from the builder with 9.0-1 compression ratio...
he also sent the heads off to start the work on them. I'm still driving my car...he had a set of heads, same casting as mine, in the shop, said he would use those and for me to keep driving Brandi... weather permitting, there will be a gang of us headed to the test and tune Wednesday....my last night to drive a sane car... |

I mentioned in a previous thread that the axles were up in the air, but no more.... After lots of discussion and research. I opted for Driveshaft Shop Level 5 Axles. I orderd them today, though shipping may be delayed a day or two due to the snow and ice storm they are experiencing in NC. Thanks Frank for helping me and the suggestions... Looking forward to seeing those pieces... |
