Ken, Ken, Ken..... I've met your daughter & know that although she's quiet when w/us, I'm sure it's a completely different story when she's among friends. I know Kelsey is the same way & there's no way 2 little french doors are going to keep that much noise contained. A cheaper investment (time & money) would have been some earplugs .

As for my weekend, I did some stuff around the house on Sat morning & then visited my good buddies @ the shop Sat afternoon. They were hard @ it & one of their projects is nearing completion & will be a contender @ the shows.

When I got home from the shop, I swapped the stock cam out of the old 350 for a new XE250H Comp Cams. That should put some pep in her step. Now it's time to button up the rest of it & get some color (first I need to pick-up a small space heater for the garage).

Today, on the 74 I swapped out the 'shrieking' blower motor (@ start-up anyway) for a new one & swapped the obnoxiously loud starter for another as well. It sounds soooooo much better & isn't nearly as embarrassing to start. I almost washed it but ran out of light. Maybe tomorrow......

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
