One week away from starting the new engines.

Post by antlr-king »

I have a mechanic friend of mine planned to come out next Sat. to help me get these babys fired up. I will/should have eveything all ready by then. Cant wait. Its been since Feb. since I received the long blocks from CA and began the work on them. Knock on wood everything goes smoothly.
