Hah!  I haven't seen the video in ages.  Thanks for the link!

Did we talk at Irwindale?  The time I had it there was the first time I put the slicks on with the new rear.  Ended up that the new rear was a hair more narrow and the slicks would rub on the wheel well.  Made one pass on the street radials wheel hopping bad and in and out of it almost the entire pass.  Then I decided to do the current motor.  Only made the one pass with the street radials at Irwindale.  Kind of wish I'd have gone back with the wheel spacers to see what the old motor would do there. 

The crank is taking FOREVER but should be ready by the end of this week.  Then it should come together pretty quickly.  I keep playing with the idea of doing another engine dyno session since the first one was a waste and I had a few things screwed up.  I think about the only thing I learned was an approximate timing setting.
