Dan Gilbert. He had that '69 El Camino and an early model Corvette. He is part owner in a restaurant now on the corner of Gilbert and Ray roads. I saw him a few months back. Still has both cars.

Hi Rick! I hope you are finally having some decent weather. I am making progress. Added new photos, yesterday. We did a dry fire Friday. I installed the radiator over the weekend. This am we tightened the fuel lines and fix the oil filter leak. Fired it up for real around noon today. Stock it was rated 400hp. With the mods, it calculated at 485hp. I am anxious to have it dynoed to see how close it is. I just downloaded three short videos on "You Tube" (azcowbo). Check it out. Oh, I forgot to tighten the turnouts and blew them off at start, ha.

I keep forgetting it is no 79 degrees like it was here yesterday. What are you using for a radiator shell? Will the old one fit what looks to be a huge new one.

Hey T-Bucket, How does the stroker run with 1700# holding it back. I can't believe you messed my rod up like that, ha. It looks fantastic. I am now a member, but can't find myself on the site, which is typical of an old goat like me. Ron

That looks really sweet!! I'll bet it sounds healthy. I've always been a fan of stroker motors!! Can't wait to see it. If this economy ever frees up maybe they'll let us travel again. You could always ship it here during the winters so it doesn't get cold. It can stay in my garage. I'll keep the tires from getting flat-spotted. he he he

How's the winter project going? If you get it done early, you're going to have to put snow chains on it and go try it out.
