I guess there are a lot of us Fat Old Guys!
The engine sounds great. I hope to be able to go to the track for the first time tomorrow with the blown engine, weather does not look goo though.

It is interesting how race team names come about. We are Throttle Stop Racing.
The name came about when we rebuilt the engine in a Firebird I was running and it ran a tenth slower. We could not find a reason for it until it was discovered that the throttle cable bracket on the intake had been installed backwards and the carb was not opening up all the way.
I felt really smart that day.

bit the bullet and ordered new calipers and rotors from aerospace componets. hope they fit.

Lately it's been crazy around here, the old woman that lives here LOL, had surgery on her neck a couple months ago and then got bitten last Sunday by a Brown Recluse spider. We've been at the Dr. every day since. Those are some bad spiders. I did get out to the shop for a while today and fabbed a pair of burndown tubes, (el cheapo at work again) and mounted them on my valve covers. Cool and damp here in N. Alabama.

Sorry to here about the better half's spider bite.
Burn down tubes did not happen unless we see pictures.
