    Man, that's a fine looking mill. And I love the ultra stealthy appearance. Few outside the Buick diehards will know what's really lurking under all that paint.... (Insert evil villain laugh here). Hope to see it in a few weeks in BG!

    Beautiful site to see that car again. I can't wait to see it in person. :TU:

    I spoke to Gary Laughlin a few days ago and he was telling me about the first time out when you were thrashing to get it done in time for the grudge race against Dave Dudek. It looks like you are ahead of schedule this time! Lol

    Good luck Jim. :3gears:

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Nice! No one would suspect what is under that resto looking paint.

    Getting closer. It seems like nothing fits. This block has small differences from a stock block. Seems like everything has to be tweaked a little to fit. But its coming along. Mike did a great job with these blocks though. All of the bolt holes are there for the factory brackets and shields etc. just taking more time than I thought to get it together. Stock fuel pump was a P I T A ! ! !

    BG or bust!!

    Jim, do the rules allow that nice looking fixed torque rod on the driver side? :grin:

    Makes reaction time nice and short and also consistent, doesn't it? I have one on my WE4 Turbo T and when I first installed it, I had a hell of a time red lighting until I changed my timing to launch the car.
