    The Mustang was fun to build and race, but I really don't miss it. It was at the point where I couldn't find anything else to do to it. Racing in AIX costs roughly 10k a year without blowing engines up and the fun factor was diminishing. The health issues that came up suck, but it was a good way...

    Every night, I have 12-20 deer in my pasture. The largest buck is a 6x7. When TMS moved to a new building that was further away from my house, it was a good time to retire and move to the country.

    Ya, I moved to central Oregon a few months ago. Madras dragstrip is about 30 minutes away and ORP the road race track is about an hour away.

    Nope. I'm looking for the right 911 X50 that I can drive to the track and keep it stock. No more spending over 100k on car builds. I will be instructing with SCCA, PCA, IRDC, and NASA. I also just bought a small ranch with a big log home, two shops, and a dynojet. I plan to do tuning on street...

    Should I break in a fresh installed used rear end grear?

    Gears inside a clutchless racing transmission or a 13 speed semi transmission doesn't require heat cycling or breaking in. Gears and bearings are heat treated well beyond what the temps inside the gearbox or diff will ever reach. If the pinion preload is set at the proper inch pounds and the...

    I replaced my Mustang with a dump truck and a 52'x40' shop. LOL

    No issues with the car. Set a lot of records, was on display at SEMA, was in car magazines etc. Health issues prevents me from being able to renew my road race license. Everytime I would look at the car in my shop, it would remind me that I can't race it, so I sold it.

    Should I break in a fresh installed used rear end grear?

    No, you don't need to break in new gears. Once the pinion depth and backlash is set, nothing changes. If you needed to break in new gears, there would be something in the owners manual of every new car and truck made that said "only drive short trips, let the diff cool down and repeat for 500...

    Pics from last weekends NASA race

    I will have the heads back mid-week and I will have all of the other parts this weekend. Today, I sent my dry sump pump to Nevada to get rebuilt. I could have the engine together early July.

    I'm taking out of retirement parts from one of Dan Gurney's ex 1967 Cougar Trans Am 289 ci engines so I can race the next event in AI. My 47 year old Trans Am engine against 3V's, Coyote's, and LSX engines. It should be fun to see how well I do. The dyno sheet I have from 1967 shows that it made...

    Here is the lap where the wrist pin pulled out of the piston and the rod went through the block, through one of the header tubes, and bounced out from under the car. You can here the engine tone change entering the corner before it let go. However, with the helmet on with ear plugs, you couldn't...

    Marc S build version 6.0

    Thanks Terry. As much as this sucks, I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford it. All the hard work and lost time bothers me more than the money. Although, knowbody likes throwing money away. When I started this build, I assumed these Cup engines were pretty much bullet proof. I should have...
