Glen Thank's for the compliment . Look's like your about ready to race . I bet you can't wait to try out that blower ! Chuck just keep pickin at it and before you know it you will be sitting in the staging lanes with it!

Let's see, made 3, quarter inch thick spacers to go between the torque conv. and flexplate, to compensate for the quarter inch thick motor plate. Then, the starter wouldn't bolt up to the block because of interference with the vertical next the motor plate. Removed .300 from the end of the aluminum block that the starter is mounted into. Problem solved! Then went out into the pasture and got my zero turn mower stuck :'(.... Took my dually (4wheel drive) out into the pasture and got it stuck :o.....Called my neighbor and he brought his Lull extendaboom loader into the pasture and he got stuck :o. Turns out I was able to get the Lull unstuck because of previous experience operating similar equipment 8). Then with yours truly operating said machine, was able to pull pickup out of pasture and aforementioned zero turn culprit :P. Lesson learned...should have just stayed in the shop and worked on the dragster and waited for summer b4 venturing forth into said pasture. SO HOW WAS YOUR AFTERNOON?

:D I like it, sounds like you're planning on making some noise. I bought a drum the other day also. As always it says 99.9% pure. I know what to add for the extra .1% 8)
