HM1076 Checking in--Engine Questions

[s_reynolds]

Erik, thanks for the input re Phoenix Engine. I never heard back from them after I spoke with Randy and sent an email. Anyway, in the meantime I have made my engine decision. A friend of mine owns a performance engine shop that builds drag engines for 1/8 mile bracket racers. He is going to build me a 351W stroked to 393 with a mild street cam, Edlbrock alum heads and manifold, Holley carb, distrib., etc--turn key. As soon as I get my car and get the build underway, then I can have the engine built to meet my schedule so I don't have it and the rest of the drive line laying around taking up space on my garage floor. I have a large double garage, but for some reason my Wife wants to park her Tahoe in her half of the garage. Go figure. I haven't talked with Mike Arps lately so I guess I'm still on for a ship date of 2/21. When is 1077 schduled? I sent my seat and carpet samples last week, so we must be getting close. I have selected my colors--dark blue with silver stripes and medium gray seats with a darker gray carpeting. I hope to get started on a body buck this week, but won't finish it until the car arrives and is on the jacks so I can get some actual measurements and make how it will best suit me.
Mike and Steve are going to have to wait awhile for me to join the NC cruise.

Regards, Sam
