Actually if the race was now, I would lose. Motor is in pieces! I still need to go through the 727 too.
I am saving most of the motor and trans work for when it is too cold to work outside. I am still a long ways away from running, but am making a little progress every week. This thread has helped a lot, keeps me motivated. I hope to drive it early spring and get some miles on it and some tuning time before the race.
