    been way to busy the past week or so, installing some hot rod parts on my Dad's Jeep. And trying (thats a key work) to get my DD Toyota running again (I hate driving the tow rig, <10 MPG HI-WAY)

    Wait till turkey day.

    ------------

    oh I was thinking, would I need a TBI setup from an engine with smiler cam duration? and lift?

    I got it painted, and the flywheel is out being resurfaced and getting a new clutch when the funds are back up. I went ahead and spraybomb it "cast iron gray".

    Rebuilding one of the YFs I got. and looking for my generator bracket...hope i didn't sell it by mistake.

    sorry fellas, I am officially in the hole. I will have to put off everything for a few months to get back on my feet. (long story, hint: a GF is involved) I am not only putting this on the back burner, but also the Grade 8 project all together, no time, er not enough light in the day anymore and my work hours. Just need to get some personal stuff taken care of first. I will probably get going again in late January.

    yeah Jeep first, but this time I need to cover somethings and it will be taking away most of my time, and money.

    I talked to my friend about postponing the day I would come up and dyno it and he said it was fine.

    I got everything I need except the clutch, and the little things - belts, charging system wiring, electric fuel pump, various hardware and a coil. Funds and time :( Gone for now.

    Not bailing at all!!

    no this is one I was on and off with through high school and she left me for awhile because of some things, and long story short I don't want to screw it up again.

    I got a few pics on my phone of the engine and GRADE 8, I will upload them here shortly.
