Where you going to t&t Billy I was thinking about going out to steel soon I'd like to meet up with some of the guys around here.

Most likely it will be Steel Creek . The lake patrol normally does not mess with us too much there .. Plus EO  likes to go there . I need him to help me get it dialed in on the E-85 .. I will post up when we head down there ..

I might dump it in Granbury for a very quick run and get out before the patrol can get over to me ..

No problem , more the better ..

I will make a thread the week before I head down there ..

I have this bad habit as soon as i get the engine back , i have to get it in the boat ASAP and go to the water . I am trying not to do that this time , but it will most likely happen again

Sounds good. I have the same problem as soon as I get a new I got to use it. Hope I get my title back for New Mexico soon so I can go regester the boat in Texas and get it wet

I was doing really good not getting anxious about the engine until I stopped by EO's yesterday and seen the shortblock . It is SWEET  !!! That Callies Compstar Crank looks awsome and those JE Piston and Scat rods just finished off the bottom end perfect ..

Now I can't wait to get it back in the boat . I knew I should have just stayed away from his shop ..

funny thing billy .........i was think'n the same when my boat was get'n ready ........needless to say  you can tell yourself that all day long  but we will go through this everytime .........can't get no sleep until shes done haha........and we are players    :wink:  that was for david and ray  ................ :grin:

and patch I feel bad that you are wait'n around for some more post ........so from now on if I really have nothing to say I will just type ................................................


NOTHING  :smile30:

Yeah Cody . It will get bad the day I pick the engine up . I will get so anxoius that I want to stay up all night to get it ready to bust it off and listen to it. We  will heat cycle it about four times , then run the valves again and then it time to go to the river to test..

I need to quit talking about it or it will drive me crazy thinking about it ..
