I highly recommend the heaters if you don't have heat out there yet! 99.9% efficient and require zero electricity. I got tired of the fumes from my torpedo heater.

Thanks buddy. I haven't quite figured out what I plan to do for heat. I may be running a furnace for the garage though. Right now I'm using a forced kerosene heater haha.

I was at the machine shop yesterday. I saw one of Tom's blocks there. I will be dropping a couple off there in the next week myself.

The new block is the 2.2 one there, Not sure where Scott's is. It should of been beside the new one as you walk in unless he moved it. But i have to give them 625+ arp studs for my torque plate.

You can use my torque plate also just tell them i told you they can use it on your engines also if you want. I keep it there.

Sorry for lack of updates. Just waiting for stuff to arrive.

The blocks machine work is finished so that should be done soon.

My stuff will be finished by the powedercoater this week. The batch of color he got for my stuff was recalled so it had to be redone.

Ugh it's been negative degrees here where I live for the past 2 weeks and all of this week. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Block will be here this week. I'll probably get it all together this up coming weekend and possibly in the car. Now that the weather is a good bit above 0* I went and installed the brake booster delete and all the new lines it came with. Very awesome kit from Whalen Speed R&D. You don't need to bend or make your own lines. It comes with very high quality lines with fittings.
