    I ordered all of the remaining items I need to assemble my motor finally, gaskets, bolts, etc. I also got the heads back from the machine shop. All the parts should be in by next weekend and I can finally assemble the motor. 427 Stroker with Price Motorsports dual four barrel intake and carb set up.
    I still need to send my Crites headers out to have them coated in the next few days also. Still need to buy clutch set up and send the car out to have the towers notched and my sub frame connectors installed along with my Cal Tracs. I got to get busy in order to have it ready for the round up coming up in 8 months. It will be here before we know it.

    Allen,

    That thing is going to be an animal with that 427. It will be a challenge to put all that torque on the ground.

    Swapped out my shifter handle and put a T5 shift boot over the gaping hole in the floor.

    Made the trek to Conyers for the GA mini-meet, had a great time, was great meeting everyone!:D
