Well, since I dont have near enough time latley to put towards building my motor i decided to let the pros do it and started dropping stuff off at the machine shop today. I dont know how long it will take, they are pretty backed up, but I know it will get done alot faster this way, plus I have decided the final product will most likely be better letting them build it, since I have no engine building experiance myself. I'll keep yall updated as soon as somthing changes. Hope to be back on the road soon.

Thanks guys.
Hey Jamesb, been a while, havent ben over to FSC in a long time. Welcome to the site.
goshawk23, I neve did get my motor built, my truck has been down since Middle of January. Havent been posting much, been a little down in the dumps about the whole thing. It's definatley been a learning experiance, one I hope I never have to go through again. Cant wait to get it back running. Everyone is making great gains and progress with thier rides and I feel like I'm getting left behind.

That was probably the best choice to make sure it gets done correctly and quickly. It will probably save you trouble and money down the road.

i know how you feel about being left behind. i felt like i was gaining good for what mods i have done but then i got out of the navy and became a student. so now, i have to scratch the barrel hard just to be able to get to the track. oh well, the end result will justify everything. i look forward to seeing your truck run again. if it is going by november maybe you can make it to thunder shootout
