Default I don't know Robert

Thanks Duanne,
I don't know Robert personally, but have only heard good things about him and his projects. I thought that it was enough of a thrash to just replace the head gaskets last week. Luckily I have a friend who used to build motors for Mac Archer's 427 for the Historics. I have given him Robert's cell phone in case he did not have it (he knows Robert and Keith and everyone else it seems). Maybe we can get a deal on some blocks. I was going to go aluminum but my builder prefers iron, it is less expensive, I just had the car corner weighted for my 66 iron block and it is already tail heavy. Now if I could get a Kirkham billet block, that might be a different story. This is definitely not going to be a cheap adventure, but that goes along with everything else that has happened with my car.

If you don't have any luck, and all else fails, I can try to contact him and see. No promises, but as a last option, let me know and I'll try to help if I can.

If it helps to know... You are not the only one racing to pull something like this off before WSCB this year. There are a few others, just like last year... Thanks for making a serious effort to be there. I saw your post and just wanted to say Thanks. Good luck.
