Chris how much holiday do you have left this year and do you think you could scrape enough cash to get to California?

10 days though 5 of those are penciled in for the week before xmas shutdown.

As for cash





No not a chance gonna stuggle just to get spending money for my trip to Poland.  Why?

. Why?

Hotrod magazine have expressed an interest in your 360 mopar build that is sitting in andy's shop. Will know more details in the next week but it would mean the motor being dyno'd at westech which hotrod would pay for and also the chance that the spec would be upped courtesy of hotrod and various sponsors :cough: edelbrock heads :cough: Andy has told them its a customers motor and anything they bolt on for the dyno runs will stay bolted on when the motor leaves.

indeed i was shocked when he said so as well, i know he takes an absolute age but he does do things right in the end.

The basics of the story are that Hotrod is looking to do a mopar build starting with a stock block dyno then add more bolt on parts dynoing each time much the same as the junkyard jewel pontiac 400 that shifty and I bought parts from.

Dave frieburger is a mate of andy and asked him about your motor that he had seen sat on a stand the last couple of times he had been to the shop its either yours or they go find another block and start from scratch.

Andy syas he should know more in the next week as it would have to be ready for next month so im guessing the dec or jan issue of hotrod. If you can make it you might even get your mug in the mag

Yup hence me posting it here, i spoke to him last night chassing the poncho stuff and giving him a hard time over dragging his ass on your build. Hell even if it gets your motor finished and dyno'd its got to be good

He cant promise the heads but usually most of the companies give the stuff to the magazine in return for the feature So who knows what bolt on parts could be on it

Well looks like this might well be a good to go, spoke to andy and Hotrod has a call into him that he needed to return.

If you want to go out andy says he can sort you out some place to stay
