Was able to find a block and crank last week. Everything checked good at the machine shop. Pistons ordered and the manifold came today. Hope to have it on the run stand by mid Feb with a projected install date of early March. Building a good strong "Y" block takes time so lets not rush things, I will be ready for the first run.
The route is planned out and I will have it with me at Red Hook, we can talk about any changes that may need to be made. There may be an extra day so we can decide if we want it on cut the run by a day. The run is still for 7 days but when I posted the dates I made it for 8. If we decide to make it a 8 days then we will leave on the 15th and if its for 7 we leave on the 16th, either way we return on the 22nd.
