Dallas CC: engine drop Wednesday pm!

[SSSammy]

Joe, we're real close .. if you'd have come by and helped we'd have made it! Seriously, I worked all day on the list in the above message, John Ross put in a good 6-7 hours with me. We killed the clutch slave bracket problem .. re-made the bracket and painted it, looks beautiful and points the actuator rod straight as an arrow. Bled the slave cylinder .. during all this process, John got two brake fluid showers and I got three. I wonder if brake fluid is good for the skin I know it's bad for paint

All that remains is one lower coolant hose, two wires from the MSD box, and headers and side pipes. Then we can crank it. I suppose I ought to put a seat in it, too I'm guessing Wed night. I might also replace the surge tank with a new one ERA is overnighting in. The one I have is too tall for the hood Won't be doing any driving to speak of till I get the MSO from ERA so I can register it. I spoke with Peter this am and it is supposed to ship today also.

I may put the key in the switch tonight and turn it and see what goes pop!
