I feel like I'm watching ER and Dr. E. Green, performing the surgery, is just about to get to problem, then there's a commerical break. How we have to tune in tomorrow for the results.

Steve, good luck with the rebuild, I think a part of you likes to blow them so you can fix them

Can you get all the oil out of the intake? Will you be using that same intake on the new engine? That’s some nice looking mulch in those shots. Who does your landscaping? I’ll be around all week Stephen. If you need any tools, jacks, or just a extra hand, give me a call. I’m only 25 min from ya.

You're doing a very detailed teardown, which is good.
Hopefully there won't be a recepient of the polished Grond piston at CI-8....

You know how picky gm is about cars being "stock".
Good luck with the rebuild. I really admire your dedication.

That is a lot of work. You enjoy it though and I am sure it'll be re-assembled Stronger and Faster than before.
Amazing, I couldn't get an eight rib pulley to hold for anything a decade ago on my mustang(vortech b-trim) and it looks like you're using a six rib?
Good luck with everything.

EG,
Sorry for all the crap I gave you at CI. Seeing ALL the work you are going through.
Now that I said "Sorry" I feel the slate is clean and we (you and I) are good to go.
You know when you came over and sat with us I gave you one of my cokes and Bill and I had to drink Capt. Morgan a little stronger.
If you need anything drop me an e-mail and I'll be down.
