first off...sorry guys that i haven't been as active in the blog as i could be. i am about to free up some garage space when the boat goes away this saturday. Thank God!

its hard to watch everyone's progress and i'm just stagnent....blugh. congrats to everyone else though. although the summer months seem harder for me as its been over 100 every day this month so far. winter is easier...i have a way to heat the garage to my perfect temp and i have nothing better to do considering it gets dark at 5:30 half the time.

i did get a call from the machine shop yesterday, after 3 weeks almost, saying that the block checked up good. so, we are moving forward with boring for the new 374 pistons. i had to take them the main caps cause if forgot and i wanted to take a picture, but he said the block was back in the vat machine after the mag and i couldn't....oh well.

Mike i did get your text message back, but i was in bed already. we will meet up soon.

hopefully they will have it all done by saturday or early next week and hopefully they take my words to wise to follow the engine manual i gave them.

since i don't know how much all that is really going to cost me i'm debating over whether or not to buy the gasket kit and bearings and stuff. hmmmm i do get paid on friday....but alas.....bills....dang!
