Hello Everyone,
I thought this would be the most appropriate place to update everyone since anyone who has replied to this thread will get an update. As you guys remember, this started back in May 2015, and has been in a build stage since. Ken and I have kept in contact and he has been very busy with work and other projects at the same time as trying to juggle this build. Ken has been able to to complete the engine now and will be getting it ready to ship soon. Ken also started a thread titled "and so it begins" to document the build along the way. It is a very nice picture documentary of the process he went through to put together the motor.
But I want to THANK each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart all the way to the top! For without all of you who donated parts and money to this build it would not be. The list of you all that has helped me is very long and I can't begin to thank each of you enough, from those that shipped hard parts to me or to Ken for the build to those that donated money YOU all have made this possible for me. If you all would please PM me your contact information so I can get in touch with you and keep in contact that would be great. I feel like I am part of a bigger family and what a family to be part of!! There is still some left to be done, a few parts to get, and putting the motor in the car when it arrives. But what an amazing journey thus far and I can not wait to show everyone the finished project you all helped to create.
I have been saving the pics that Ken has been sending as well as posting to the thread and am making a photo journal to document this extraordinary journey. I will keep taking photos of the install and such along the way for everyone to see.
I hope all of you have a great holiday season filled with blessing for you and your family.
May God Bless all of you and keep you safe,
Jay
