Well looks like the engine is coming out.   I went to install a new starter yesterday and found the ring gear has come off the flywheel.  Must have come loose when the bendix jammed and worked its way off on the three runs mad afterwards.  I assume that is the roughness I felt on the last run, surprised it didn't make more noise than it did.  Oh well, the fun of racing.  Just gotta do it if I want to be ready for Elmo.

Ted, I'll get the springs and the intake back to you soon.  I think I'll clean up the Mummert intake to run and finnish up the 113 heads Greg Gordon gave me.  That will be the combo for El Mirage.

Just wanted to compliment you on your truck and first time results. It has been great following the process on the forum. We all know how hard it is to just get our projects done let alone document and post pictures to keep people informed along the way.

Thanks again, great job and a great looking & running truck. Hope to get to meet you and Charlie in person some time soon down the rode.

That wouldn't be a bad idea but I don't own these pix.   They will be in a magazine in a couple of months though.
