Dale;

I hope to get to the PO tomorrow and mail the DVD. I was at an Eagle project on Saturday and had a scouting presentation at a Lions Club today so that delayed me.

 

That is a good thing your doing with your son Boy scouts are great for the boy's I was a scout also long time ago haha.40 yr's ago i loved it alot.

That shop is very reputable he is verygood and has done alot of work on the 5.9It was just some bad surcomstances that is all needed to go to work some where else for medical ins.

Thanks guy's for all the nice comments will be posting some more picture soon.Have been putting alot of hr at work since i went back..

Well we got the block back and it was bored and honed the head was CNC milled in the valve pockets.We got them back 2week ago this sunday.i brought them to MCS one of our sponsors he fire ringed the block and head for us.I droped them off this pat wednesday picked them on thursdayafter work.Now waiting for the valves and block girdle Haisley so the other machineshop cane cut and do a valve job.Then we can start on the ported intake and the stainless header like the one that is on Destroked.
Things getting done now is taking alot longer since I wen't back to work.And woiting on other people getting thing done like machineshops and waiting for parts to come in.Haisley's have to be one of the fastess places getting their part from.

Dale

 

wow alsome build im from washington also and know of you guys, you cant hide it very well with destroked sitting in the drive alone with 3 or 4 other diesel powerd rigs in front of the house


Also if you need some custom machine work done let me know I have accses to CNC equipment and can mill you out just about anything. but no block or head work tho

 

Thanks for the offer you welcome to stop by any time and take a look and shoot the bull.
