Thanks Jimmy
Glad to hear your a vette fan will have to talk vettes sometime
I will sure try to keep some updates coming

Found a 12 bolt housing I had around the shop, I will have to remove the factory brackets and install new spring pads shorten it a bit , I picked up new Ford big bearing housing ends for it, I picked up some 5.57 gears for it and found a spool I had around the shop
I just bought a core 283 long block yesterday to redo and made a deal on a metric 200 that I will have to go through and rebuild.
Long ways to go but it's a start

Which of the 283 combos are you considering? Sounds like a new Corvette coming to division 6,, I'm hoping you can make it to Missions' divisional next spring. It would be great to see the car and meet you as well. Take care and keep us posted,, I'm hoping winter won't be too hard on you all up there this year,, good luck.
