Considering a move from one underpaid profession to another.. your thoughts

[RICK LAKE]

fsstnotch Josh First off you have military training and service. There are a couple of different places you could look. FBI, Secret service, ATF, State police, County sheriff, even the TEXAS Rangers. Your military training will make the 21 week class a breeze. It's the same as boot camp. You can get repayed for taking the police course from the town that hires you. You can also write the course off on your taxes. Check into the military for paying for your course, there are some programs for certain training. How about the NSC? If your learned another language, other than spanish this will also put you ahead in the class. I don't know about PA but the NJ cops startout at 39,800.00 for the rookie year and jumps to 42,600.00. After that, the skys the limit. Your chief gets 118,000.00 per year plus car, and other perks. He is ex FBI. Has a BA in crime. Any way I could find your other thread on 351 windsor blowers, heres the places to check, BIG AL'S toy box He sell a couple kit for the 351 W motor. You can save alot of money by buying a 4 barrel manifold and bolting a 3/8" flat plate of Aluminium on top for a blower mounting surface. This is what they do. I would send the manifold to Joe Craine and have the ports balanced for flow. Hogan makes a custom blower manifold. BIG $$$'s. Ken Lowe race cars in the AU make custom blower drives and crank supports for the 351w motors. You can get him at Ken@Kenlowe.com.au. Your just around the block from Au. There is a book out you might want to check out before you go on this wild hair, Supercharging and turbocharging small block Fords. It will give you some basic back ground and what you would need to bolt a 6-71 on a 351w motor. The biggest pain in the @$$ is the distributor being in the front of the motor and making the drive high enough to clear it. MSD sells low height distribs for blower applications. Hope you are safe and well. Keep your head down. Listen to the little guys on your shoulders that whisper in your ears about something is wrong. You are being spared the 10 foot of snow in your part of the woods. Your wife has a honey do list all ready when you get home. That will wait until after the third night reunion Rick L.
