Apologies for any confusion.

My post Was simply bumping this thread for any possible ETA updates.

Hopefully BEFORE Thanksgiving? 🦃

If my calculations are correct, we won’t see any updates for about another two weeks.
 
Dave told me to keep it under 6500 or so. I can’t remember. But I’ll tell you this, it’s been north of 8000 a few times!!!

thats good advice , I shift mine at 7000 (powerglide) and on a good air day back when we raced 1/4 mile I would go through the traps at 7300
 
Ok, can someone give me the cliff notes on this 14 page thread? All I remember was this, Fox got rich and found gold, he got so rich that Mitch and Mark D got jealous and wanted to look at his engine up close and in living color.
What comes next?

Should have read: Mitch and MarkD were jealous and wanted to mine his engine for the riches stored inside

Forgot Boy buys lifetime supply of jack stands
 
Sorry about this Fox, I know you were trying hard to get it on the road, and no, I'm not being a smart ass, I'm sure this really sucks for you.
I know it's two different worlds, but I had a Ariens snow blower, it meant something to me because it was a bonding issue between my father and myself.
Finally it blew up after 20 years of service. I had a shop rebuild it for me three times and it got messed up each time. Finally I figured if I can rebuild a SBC and BBC I can't rebuild this little engine, and I did and it runs great. Good luck dude, you'll get it done
