I'm in Vegas this weekend... If you need any help getting things buttoned up, call me, I'll be there. Can only hang out with the wife's friends for so long, I'd rather be working on a boat....

Well, after some drama with the valve springs, I got the heads torqued down....cam and timing set on....and roller lifters in. Going to do the rest of the top end tomorrow morning and she will be ready for the pan and be dropped in. Hopefully I'll be all done by mid next week and take it out for a quick run on lake mead one evening to make sure its bug free.

So things are starting to look up for the Crazy Eights to be attending the 2013 Idaho Regatta on June 21-23, 2013.

The new block should be done today and I have 3 weeks to hammer this out. Not planning on being too competitive in the CompJet class, but mostly to go and have fun again this year.

I made this thread to track the progress of the motor build and road trip to Burley, ID and back.....and of course race footage, pictures, etc. of the event.

As of now, I am rolling solo and will running the SCJB name strong. I believe GT Jets said he was going to be there as well again this year. Who else is going?? Its by far the best race of the year and most fun one as well.

I heard a rumor there's going to be around 15 compjets!

Pics from last year...

Yes I've always had fun there. See you all there.

Had a pretty bad set back tonight....put the timing cover on and went to go put the balancer on.....and spun the inertia ring by hand

I thought that I would have to rebalance the rotating assembly if I replaced it....but the guys over at 460ford.com said just swap it out.

so I'm gunna see if I can find one locally in the morning if not, I am going to overnight one from summit (its normally 2 days from reno via UPS) I cant put the motor in the boat until the balancer is on because the balancer is right up against the fuel tank (about 2" of clearance)

the oil pan is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

- tomorrow (Tuesday) I will get the oil pan on and motor all set to drop in the boat.
-Wednesday I will get the balancer and slap it on and drop the motor in the boat.
-Thursday I pick my dad up from the airport and we head to big river Friday morning.

I'm cutting it REAL close, but it looks like i MIGHT make it.
