Jerry Clayton, Now you have done it. We have been dropped from machinist to mechanic to armchairs.
I'm gald Mr. Parker who lives in Cali and calls Madam Cleo's for mind readings has all the answers. I thought that only Patrick T. was using a crystal ball.
As far as motors, I have a 410 FE out in the garage. 482 is in cobra, 498 is at machine shop for special work. I hear that maybe Run&Gun may return to St.lious next year. I'm going to stop by the shop and see the master at work.
As far as pete's motor, we agree on a rebuild, and finding out what damaged the motor. If Pete is going to keep racing the car a drysump might be the best for you in the long run. I would still over build the bottom end with a gridle and scrapers. I don't beleive that either of these parts caused the failure of the motor. They again are not cheap. About $2,500.00. The cool thing is the filler for the tank is like the orginial in the r/s fender unless you go to a trunk mounted one or pass floor. I am looking at the old Dove setup with some corrections. Rick L.
