I think I will be there to support the Kids

 

That place is on my way to work.... Niice I will be there!

 

I'm gonna see if I can make it. Somebody's gotta represent the non-Vette owning contingent!

 

You got the Brown Turd running yet

 

Not quite. I'm still in the process of rebuilding the "rebuilt" engine I bought. (Ponder that one for a bit...) It'll be a couple more weeks.

Oh well, at least this engine is a real 170 (101hp -- ) The engine that originally came in the Turd turned out to be a 144 (85hp -- )...even though it has a 170 code stamped on the outside!

 

Being a former 64 Ranchero 260 V8 owner I like those old car/trucks and was hoping to see it up and running and damn a rebuilt motor needing more work makes no sense

 

It'll be running soon enough. The guy (idiot?) who sold me the motor didn't know what he was doing. He put the thrust washer bearings in the wrong place. And the machine shop he used did a lousy job cleaning the crank, so everything in the bottom end was so dirty that some of the bearings were already worn through after 30 minutes run time!!!

No big deal, though. I caught it in time. I'm getting the crank turned (it's never been done before) and re-rebuilding the bottom end. A couple of hundred bucks out of my pocket. And I've learned my lesson: If I want it done right, do it myself.

So...in a couple of weeks she should be running. Not quite ready for run to New Braunfels, but I should be able to putter around town...

 

Very cool and bring her out to Biff's when up and running and have a few cold ones

 

I THINK I GOING. I DROP THE CAR OFF ON THURSDAY FOR TUNING ON THE NEW MOTOR AND SUPERCHARGER. TILL THEN I HAVE TO PUT AT LEAST 1,000 MILES.

 

Sounds like fun. Barb and I should be able to make it.

 

I'll be there as well...

 

Is that just down the road from Simpson?

 

Wrong road. Simpson is on FM306.

Continue down I-35 to the Texas 46 exit. Turn right, and 46 becomes Loop 337. Continue a couple of miles to River Road.

 

 

I wish i could be there but I have stuff I have to do in FW. My brother lives in NB and this is the shop that worked on my C5 (it was his C5 at the time).

 

well just got back from Cory's and car wasn't getting a enough fuel so Cory shut her down now i have put and in-line pump. I'll be there Sunday.

 

Damn, fuel fuel, and great she is running though and a new pump and you will be fixed

 

I was going to try and make it, but my wife has been out of town all week. She wants to go out to our place in Utopia for the weekend.

Y'all have fun without me!

 

She goes to Utopia and you go to New Braunfels! ! !
