Did some horse trading today

Me and four of my friends drove to Ohio to meet with Mike Booher(blownV6) and Ron Tarabori. Ron drove about 7 hours to meet us at Mikes house. I probably should have offered him some gas money because he saved me a ton of money on shipping. To be honest I had to barrow money for diesel on the way home from my one buddy and another one had to buy me dinner. I ran out of cash, depleted my checking account, and still went home smilling.

We had a nice visit and picked up a truck load of stuff. My buddy Mike stepped up and bought short block from Booher. On-center block @ 4.035, 6.2" carrillos, 3.600 LA billet Kryptonite crank, and New J&E pistons. I would say he has a good start for his first purchase of some stage parts. One of my buddies who went didn't buy any stage stuff but where still working on him. He's just a little feller and I think he's affraid of a stage motor.

Thanks again to Mike and Ron

I sure wished I´d live there too. Be able to have those contacts is awesome. Lucky You.

I guess we might contact You later to see if You can get us some parts for our project. Who knows, maybe we take a roadtrip in The US sometime. I´d sure like to meet John Pearcy again, and lots of other persons.

He cracked! I didn't think he would, but he did, and it took less than 48 hours after our trip to Ohio! I think it was the little feller comment that put him over the edge. I guess I'll have to start calling him "little big man" for now on.

So what did he buy? I ended up purchasing the block that Mike had for sale on racingjunk.com

Cool, a block is a major piece in the old money depleting s2 builds.
