Continuing the Thank You acknowledgments:

*Gary Hettler - I bought heads and intake from Gary and with the very first phone call he was a wealth of information. A very nice, experienced man who goes beyond helpful with his customers. I followed his advice and the results prove he knows his SBC combinations. Thanks Gary, I appreciate you.

* Phillip Vickous at Quick Fuel - As part of Gary Hettler's advice I called Phillip about the NHRA accepted replacement carb for the 327/300 combo. Quick Fuel VS 585 race carb. It is perfect, out of the box, untouched. In addition, I bought Quick Fuel 175 pump and matching regulator. The fuel pressure is rock steady and only needed to be checked, not changed.

*Chris Padgitt at Comp Cams - I have been a customer of Comp and Chris for many years. Chris is my go to guy for cams.

*Rick Sisk Performance Machine Shop - Rick and I have a 40 year relationship. His machine work is top shelf and so it his knowledge. He is a key part of my engine building work.

*Mile High Crankshafts - Good folks going a good job, family operation. I was struggling with finding a 327 small journal core and of all things, he found one in his home town of Denver. He did a full SS race prep at very reasonable cost and the dimensions were dead on the tenth.

*Charlie Plott at ATI - Another recommendation by Gary Hettler and of course, spot on. Converter, damper, flexplate all perform as expected.

*Randy Mans with Quick Shocks - After a number of calls to several popular shock builders I was frustrated. I was hearing, "those S-10's are a problem, poor weight distribution, we do not build a shock for them" [so to speak]

Then at the recommendation of some on this board I called Randy. "yes, I have done some of those and have a program for that application" Again, spot on and as expected. Thanks Randy.
