Hey ! When did you change your username?

And by-the-way, your avatar scares my wife.

Have you fired it up yet?
I can't wait to fire up my corvette motor. Just have to strip all the smog equuipment first and rewire the whole thing.

Here's a pict of it... and an old GMC 451 blower I have sitting around. Might as well sell that too.

I'm excited to tear that engine apart. Nearly everything is alluminum! The block is covered in oil, so I don't know what to expect yet. Lots of Simple Green and a pressure washer should do the trick. Tomorrow's the day, during filming.

Thats alot of aluminum for this trick, I use oven off, oven cleaner. Gots it all in one shot, I think it would play havok on the aluminum though.
