    Not much going on, just too darn cold !! Have been re fitting the entire plant I work at, between that, start up and them sending me to school its been a busy year, oh ya I had to spend a week in key west


    Im rethinking a few things, mostly to drop the ride height a little in the front, no major re work just modify the inner wheel wells.

    While looking on EBAY I found a spare engine, a larger 3.2 SHO that came in the auto version of the SHO.

    It will be matted to the 5 speed and get the Sho Brothers cams I was going to use in the 3.0

    The best part was it was cheap, only had 80,000 miles on it and it was 15 minutes from my house. SHO engines go about 225,000 before needeing a rebuild but you have to replace the rod bearings every 70-80,000 just to be safe.

    No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

    congrats on the new motor, glad to hear you're thinking about the project still, even if it is too cold to work on it right now... too many people around here have abandoned stuff. Keep us posted, and lets see some pics of that new motor

      Well to be honest I bought the tires and rims first on purpose. These were most expensive part of the project and they are a combintaion that cant be used on anything else


      This way I forced myself to finish this thing ! Somtimes it good to take a brake away from a project but if you go to long you will loss interest in it.
