Has anyone heard how Todd is coming alone with the new engine? I'm waiting to see how it works out and might rather spend my money on a new engine that will take the rpm's than spend what it takes for a Mitchell overdrive. Not that I might go for a Mitchell also.

I'm moving along on it. I've been buried with Snyder work since the holidays plus getting a new machine wired up and other necessities.

I have just completed (yesterday) a pattern modification that will allow me to very quickly make the A version tail of the block or the B version. I have one casting in house to cut but all of my machines are full right now. There was a mix up at the foundry that has delayed further castings. Core shop and foundry both failed to inform me that cores were delivered and molds made back in the first week of December. That did not sit well with me because the cores are no good now after sitting so long. I was not happy at that news.

I am also working on the new core method for the upper core assembly which will make it much easier for a foundry to assemble a mold with out my baby-sitting.

Anyone know how to clone me? I need 3 copies.
