Pop, I'm behaving myself. After all I have this long lean love in my life right now.

I asked if these valves would be suitable for LSR but never
got any answers.
Thanks.

That is the type, but personally I would rather see them in brass or stainless. Hard to  tell from the pics, are you sure they're aluminum?Salt does strange things to aluminum very quickly.

We run on a dry lake bed here. It's not salty but thanks Ron.

Look just like the ones we use. 160 mph street roadster, 270 mph BFMR.

The estimated price on that iron block is $3,250 to $3,750 based on the website.  That seems like a lot of money.  Actually, it costs less than a lot of new motorcycle crank cases.  The engine case halves for my Triumph are $3,815.60 new from Bike Bandit.  In this perspective, the new Cleveland block is a good deal.

Thanks JD.
Yeah, I'm drooling but it won't happen unless I get involved
in the family business and go visit the ponies at the track!!!!!
The boys are cranking out winners lately.
The local currency is worth squat. Even GM have announced they're pulling
out of the country.

I wanted to buy two fron tires for the liner. 18 grand without shipping!!!!!!!!
I guess I'll wait for another miracle. stuff just piles up here. It's like the devil
found out I have some ammo in the piggy bank so i'm paying for broken stuff
around the house, damaged cars and other unforseen expenses.

[tauruck]

Some progress!!!!!!.
The engine cover pattern is ready for fairing paste.
Right side only though. When it's perfectly shaped
i'll use the profile gauge to get the left side right.

Still a little shaping but it should go quite quickly.

Nice work, Mike. Looking at your approach to building a body, I should have used foam instead of ABS. Can't wait to see your final product. Oh, by the way, you aren't the only one who the devil found. I had nearly all my budget ready for the lakester build only to watch 3/4 of it go up in smoke for other domestic essentials. How we ever get to the finish line with these car builds is a mystery.
