Saguaro's going into the garage after the Avi trip. Finally picked up an interior I like for it, so the Yellow Submarine's been ressurrected! Albeit a very docile machine.

Then, hopefully, get the blower motor started and done for the new to me SST I think I'm bringing to Avi instead of the Moo. (I want that done for the Temple bar trip in March)

Hopefully I won't have to do anything, if I do any upgrades or mods it'll be a rideplate/shoe and some more pump work.

Picked up a 77 manta ray daycruiser for $ 500. Installing new 460,new white interior,redo trailer,plus abunch of little things. Hopefully to have it done by 1st of april. Any feedback on this hull would be greatly appricated. It also has a panther pump, never ran a panther always had berkleys,but couldn't pass up the price. The hull itself is in great shape, I'll post pics as soon as my computers fixed,my phone won't let me post them. If anybodys interested I'll email pics and you can post for me,thanks.

Well since its the sleepy time of the season we got bored and decided to build us a 440 Mopar for a jet, had a old core motor and said WTF , so this is a "bucks down deal/make things work/run what ya brung/ make it work" trying to do it with the aboslute minimum of expense (used parts ebay stuff , pepboys deals etc) The block currently was fitted with .055 pistons (it will go .060) found cheap rods and slugs from Summit, got a $50 Mopar performance hyd cam (clone) and scored a single top T'ram and a set of used bassets for $150 ,used mounts for $220.. So a little " rigid hone action" and even used the lathe to polish the crank and Were on the way, gonna throw the motor in our River Racer Boat (pulled the Chevy Stroker out) and see what it does !

Interior (backseat and engine hatch only), find oil leak, subs and amp, led interior lighting. That should about cover it for this year... :)

A friend of mines father in law used to race Century Arabians back in the late 70's. Their was three of them and one had a 454, one a 460, and one a 440 and the 440 won every time from what I am told.
