I'm pretty lucky that my shop is 2.5 blocks away from home. We had a wonderful Christmas eve with my mom and brothers family. Babette has work today and tomorrow so I've got a long leach today and tomorrow. Soon as it dries up outside, I'm going to test my neighbors patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the same fwd upshift. Figured that was the norm. Really liked the 3rd to 2nd power shift. Just like the H pattern. Pull back and mash the gas. Its going to take me a few trips to get used to the car and the shift sequence but I'm told it will be natural after a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll definitely find it more natural once you adjust. As you're accelerating being pushed back pulling the shifter back just feels right. Similarly when you're slowing down and being forced forward it just seems natural to push the shifter forward. -TJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to see that man, was hoping to see you out tearing it up this week John didn't open it up this time. Just checked it out. It's a special block that Gary originally built with custom o ringed heads. I've got it cleaned out and running with no coolant. Couple of oil changes so it's clean inside. It's running great. Just an internal coolant issue right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
