What I have been up to.......
« on: March 28, 2014, 05:05:42 pm »





    Two 454's freshened up and broke in.  Deliver those and got two more to build. a 489, and two small blocks, both 383's...   Seems that the harder I try to get away from my past it keeps following me.. I suppose when someone asks to have an engine built I could just say NO....   but...  there are few things in life that give me as much joy as hearing an engine fire for the first time.

Nice sound. I don't know if anything like that is allowed on the street here anymore. If a car came out stock with a catalytic converter, it has to still have one in order to pass inspection. In BC we had yearly "Air Care" inspections in the lower mainland where you had to drive you car into special centers where they tested your exhaust. Any issues and you failed.

its good living here.. farm country, where trucks that are half missing are still road legal!!
    Neither of these engines are going into a vehicle that is new enough for cats...  but beyond that.. my wife has a house cat I'd live to stick in the middle of the tailpipe just to be legal!

Why can I not say no? Right with you.
So I get a call from a guy sees my chairs. Says he has some big Maples he is going to fall and asks if I want them. After he falls them they are fantastic. I go get a portable lumber mill to go get them, mill and deliver. He says $1200. The guy giving me the wood says build me some Adirondack chairs for the logs.  So I figure I have a ton of bee wood in the garage why not? Got 500 bf of lumber and for some reason 90% of it is wide enough for a deep when I only need 6” boards.
The guy I shoot with says build me an ammo box if you do not want to cut it down, just make them about 30” long.

Are you serious? Nearly 2.50 a board foot for milling? Around here the mills get 30 to 40 cent per board foot. Don't tell these guys or they will all move to Oregon and we won't have a mill left.
