I couldn't get my car out of my garage with the snow here...this year hasn't been as bad as last year...last year it was "go to work" then "back home to shovel...or snow blow".....The salt that they pour on our streets up here you can hear the cars rust...My winter speed is my 92RTHP snow machine.

Well the heads are assembled, lapped the valves, check spring pressures open and closed, shimed them and set the installed height. Now just waiting on my cam and headers.

A4 conversion is done, Sled28's 347 is in-just waiting on the camshaft to put on the heads and blower. In the meantime-my custom aluminum dual bearing idler pulleys are here:

These are never going to melt and give the most contact patch on the 8 rib belt to help them stay in the grooves and buzz past 7000 rpm.

The eight rib pullies are laser aligned-and again, waiting on a camshaft, oh my roll cage showed up today!
