The Radio showed up today.....Perfectly stock appearing with AM-FM 4 channel 45 watts per channel...satelite ready...when you turn the radio on, it comes on in the FM mode....there is a LED that is installed in the back shield behind the needle.....when you tune in a FM station as the signal gets stronger it changes from Orange to Green.......if you want to listen to AM....you turn the Radio off and turn it immediately back on and it is now in the AM mode and the LED is Red........Tunes....

Also.......went to the Engine shop tonight and they had the engine torn down........Bearings Junk, Crank was .010 under....needs to go to .020 so I'll just replace it, cylinder walls tapered .005 , but the pistons appear fresh, probably a lousy honeing job.........the heads were oval port with a rectangular port aluminum manifold ......see where this is going......$$$$$$$$$$$
Getting a headache..........

With all that uninhibited torque thats gonna be taken place under that hood,are you considering a suspension mod of any kind?
Couldn't hurt to add a sway and her reinforced sisters.
