Great news Bill!


Why don't the Jets trade Favre to another team that in turn trades to Minnesota. There is always a way around it.


Also did you check out that news conference this morning by McCarthy, Thompson, and the other guy. Looked like the three stooges. If they win a Superbowl they'll be geniuses, if they miss the playoffs they'll be looking for jobs. I for one would never put all my eggs in Aaron Rodgers basket. Thats one fragile guy to hitch your wagon to.

Forward progress is definitely happening. Everything is pretty much assembled on the motor.
I'm still looking at early next week. It's okay, just a few more days won't kill me.
  • Stock windage tray can't bolt back to the block because of the ARP mainstuds. Solution, you're outta here!
  • Anti-knock sensor had to be epoxied on the block. Why? New MMR block had the bosses for the sensors ground down (maybe for a sc Cobra).
  • New alignment dowels had to be ordered lastweek because the MMR block did not come with any.
  • New Fidanza aluminum flywheel! Can you say '1st gear is no good?'
  • New Centerforce DF clutch (in box, hope it's the right one)
  • NAPA 5w30 reg oil, oil filter, and coolant ready to go.
Danny asked me if I want him to put an ultra-conservative tune on it or stay with what's in it now (Brenspeed tune). I told him we'll leave the Brenspeed tune in. He asked if it ran good with it? Told him it ran like a raped ape until things went sounth. He thought it was funny.

Forget the i-shaft, I'm tiring of dumping money into this thing. Like you said, it never ends...

I won't know exactly until the motor gets broken in. Until then, it won't see ludicrous speed.

No more good luck pieces, it'll run or it won't.
