Been so busy with other stuff, and finances aren't what they need to be so sad to say, no, not much has been done on the poor thing. I went through the pumps here a few weeks ago, they are indeed rebuilt and ready to go, I had dropped off a few 460 Blocks to the machine shop and they informed those two were ready go go whenever I decided what I was doing for cranks, stroker, etc. The heads I've left here, I think I want to go aluminum in some form on these. Stringers are cut, trimed and ready for install.

My attention gets diverted into something else pretty easily. I'm like a crow, all you gotta do is wave something shiney or topless at me and I'm all over it..... :banghead:

Part of it has been my attention to rear driving the blower on this 10-71 deal Harry found me, having it disassembled and put together backwards, reclearanced and timed, and I think we got the logistics of all that worked out (No thanks whatsoever to Mooneyham who made the friggin thing despite Matt and Randy's best efforts, BIG thanks to Kimberly Gear in PHX who are more than happy to make any billet blower pulley I could possibly imagine and Sun Devil Superchargers, who I don't think fully understand WHY i wanted this done on a new blower....... ;)  )  I want to see this work in something I'm not going to kill myself in and probably do the same thing twin style with 6-71's and possibly set-back the pumps. Tom and Josh are excited to do the rear plates with integral idler pulley slot (We're going to use rail kits on this).

So the plan is there, once the floor is all in and we start building the interior, etc, I can get a little more excited.   :thumbup:
