Well the rebuilt short block is in (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's never easy, but this time it was insane! I was working alot just to pay for this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Plus pulling everything apart and putting it all back together a few hours every night and the weekends in 95 to 110+ deg heat.



There are some people I gotta thank first of all.....

My wife..... just kidding (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

Vic over at Performance Speed & Machine for not butt raping me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) on the short block!

AndyJ for sending me some stuff I needed badly (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

SteveD at Prostop Performance for going WAY out of his way to get me some brake line's (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif)

Tony Guaglione at Hiline motorsports and Carbotech for rushing(making) a set of pads to me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

And everybody here (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/hail.gif) I have been using the search option alot!

Now I have to get out there and do the alignment........ AND wash the bird, truck, and RV, cut the lawns, and start to pack everything for next weekend!
