I was there.
I saw it move.
I helped fix the miss @ 6500rpm.

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.

Frank if the wheels go, I have promised Scoti first shot at them. If he passes then my forum friends will get next chance.

Right now it has nothing more than the stock AM/FM in it. I plan to add an amp and new speakers along with an interface for an Ipod.

If Keith hadn't already told me that it has a 5000rpm rev limiter I might be concerned.

Besides, I know you guys wouldn't abuse my new motor.....Would ya?....

Re: Ken (N2TRUX)

Your latest updates are intriguing...
I agree that the Ramjet pleum looks a bit tall, like the original fuelies.

...mini starter

"In this picture you see we are still playing with valve covers. What will it be? Do I want chrome, painted or polished...?"

Hmmmmm........

Enjoyed your latest write-up.

But, we need more of them?

Then, we can read 'bout Captkaos 6.0L/4L80E swap...

If we could get Chris to write one, and maybe Tracey could do something about his Blazer it would really help keep that forum interesting...

Re: Ken (N2TRUX)

I will do a write up on the TPI swap on the blazer if anyone is interested. I can also do one when I do the air ride, since it will be slightly different that a truck.

Re: Ken (N2TRUX)

You guys go for it. I'm trying to generate more traffic in the picture forum. If I can get ongoing build ups, or tech articles with pics to document that would be great. Josh wants to change some things in there and this may be part of the new look...

If you want to do something just let me know...
