Big news:-)

Like really big news...... MASCAR is on board:-)

Scott Tedro and Kenny Maisano have reached out to me with a generous offer of support to pull my future plans ahead of building a W31 engine right to the edge of the PSMCDR rules.

My MASCAR W31 and my Morocco Muncie will be married soon!!!!!

I am very excited about W31 V2.0 :-)

No need to compromise to make it street friendly:-)

This was discussed and considered but the engine build is moving along well and all the components are either on site or on order it makes sense to me to continue. This engine has a different purpose to run on pump gas and be fun on the street.

If I find a low cost Red Foreman (Vista) someday it will get the full W31 drivetrain and all the L74KILR equipment can stay in the post car:-)

Aw Shucks:-)

Thx.

Ryan

PS: Nick Morocco sent me a note, all the M22Z parts are ready and he will assemble now:-)

PPS: Reached out to Dave Siltman, he is checking &quot;in the back&quot; for some Olds parts, Stephen Minore parted with a virgin 68 350 2 barrel oil pan to valve covers with distributor to get this party started:-) (I have some duplicates for W31 V2.0 but my original heads are junk so might as well start with a STD core.

I sat down and read the entire 204 pages of Ryan's post a few days ago and was really moved by his dedication to this project, his family and his relationship with his dad. So I sat down and talked with Kenny about giving Ryan a helping hand and we both agreed that this was something we needed to do. I am very happy to verify that we at Mascar Classics will be building a fire breathing W31 motor for Ryan and his family, and we will cover all costs involved in this build, including a dyno run with video. Kenny will work with Ryan and build the motor to the best of his ability. Kenny will be posting pictures and details when he starts the build in the next 30 days or so.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas
