As many of you already know with the support of freinds, family, and my wallet (joke - ;D) I purchased John Reddings car that he campained and won a championship in Pro Mod. Bieng a quality top-notch car it will allow me to do what I have always wanted to do. From way back in the day the ONLY reason why I used to go to BOR in sac was to watch then Pro Turbo and racers such as Luppino, Perkins, Mcclendon, Nelson, etc. fly down the track. I seen those turn mid nine's and that is all I have wanted to do. Of course there are people now days whom have set the bar even higher (or lower depending on which end your looking at it... haha).
So, when this opportunity came up I jumped on it. It is a solid, proven car and is now my pride and joy. I dig the car, John did an awsome job with it. When I examine it as im tooling around I am in awe at what he created. I HOPE to achieve the same goal that he had at one time.
Anyways, thats my diatribe and now to what Im up to on it.
Jeff Newcomb put my motor back together for me. Im glad he did becuase he examines EVERYTHING (like a professional engine builder should). point being is I would of just put it back together and missed a few minor things like cracked wrist pin bosses on two cylinders. so what was once a 2180 is now a 2110...which is perfectly fine with me. I just want to go run, it will be a good starter motor for now.
Jeff normally builds my trannys too but this car has a Mendeola (a HUGE plus!) in it. When the time comes he will check it out too.
