April, way to go with the progress!!!  I had no idea you were going to be pulling your 340 for a rebuild, but it'll perform that much better after everything's rebuilt.  I can already see some more tire marks in the hotel parking lot where you'll be "testing" out the rebuilt 340. :grinyes: :bigsmile:

So does that mean you are going to Carlisle?  A little bluebird told me you would not be attending this year.  I hope that's not the case.   :bigsmile:

Hey April,

I didn't realize you were going to have to tear into the motor like that. Sounds like it'll be a much nicer ride when you're all done. Hopefully all the bugs will be out before cruise season starts, & you can smoke somebody's Olds without any problems.  :biggrin:

Good luck with it, Bob  (Mary said to say hello)

  Walking is good for you. It's documented that for every minute you exercise, you add a minute to your life. This enables you to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

Well, I didn't have, my seals were shot though and since some of it had to come apart we figured we might as well do the whole thing.  LOL about smokin' the Olds!!!  Tell Mary I said hello too!

Engine rebuild!  yea!  New goodies!  you guys must be excited!  I got to be honest  :screwy: I thought you really did have a 360 crate and I was missing some pics -  kept looking and looking... 

Anyways hows it coming--  remember if you want stainless fasteners at a great price - check mmsacc -- tell 'em we sent you.

anyway, .... with the violin in the background playing "memories" . . . from the archives:

April, power sterring ? She will steer just fine, that 340 6pk will allow very little friction on those front tires  :roflsmiley:

Parking may be a tad slower, but hell who would want to park that beauty? I'd stay manual too, Flaming River has a neat manual box, light weight too, good unit but a bit pricy compared to some others.

April,
  Since the engine is out, now is the time to paint her pink. Just think of it, you will have a one of a kind. I don't think I have ever seen a pink engine before, but it's not like I am attracted to that kind of thing either.  :lol: :lol2: :lol: :lol2:
