Keith, yes, I'm sure looking forward to getting behind the wheel. I do plan to run this year, however, time is running out. There are only two dry lakes meets left this season, Oct 20 and Nov 9-10. I am shooting for the November event. Ironically, no rain at this time, but due to the gov. shut down and being run by the BLM, El Mo is closed. The SCTA believes that either the gov. will be back to business as usual by then or they think they can run the event through some kind of alternative plan???
Sometimes you just cannot think of everything. While looking down the side of the truck, I noticed that the exhaust on the driver's side would send gases directly into the louver vent in the mirror cavity!!! Gotta fix that.
I think someone commented on the potential excessive heat that would be generated under the hood. I knew there would be, but WOW, even with the hood up, within five minutes of running the engine, it went straight into vapor lock!!! I was waiting to wrap the headers and merge pipes until last, but now it is time. More pictures to follow soon......
