The long block is done! You can see the SFI approved flexplate JW made for me.

Thanks to Jelly for staying late to get things buttoned up!

LONG BLOCK

Lookin nice, Tom!

Tell me more details on the SFI flexplate. Supposedly ATI was going to release one, but I haven't heard anything in a long time. Is this something JW is going to start selling?

ARE provided me with the valve covers. I sent JW my stock flexplate and they sent me this one. It does not appear to have any fit issue and was only 165.00. I am sure you could ask them to do the same for you if you are interested.

Well, it looks to me that we are going to have one of our own Michigan boys swing`n a big stick this year! Maybe we can show some of those boys in Texas we are still hear. I mean come on, they can`t have the hottest women in the country AND the fastest LS1`s!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Good luck this season.

Wade - I plan on doing some TnT in about 4 weeks. I'll give you a call and see if you want to come out.

Thanks!

I just checked your engine pice Wade. Nice! I was heavily considering that Jesel belt drive system but between the dry sump and the belt drive itself I could afford it yet. Do you have your own dry sump set up?
