It has been on the backburner for a for a few reasons. My wife retired early [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] and we have been spending some more time together (cruising the 59 all over the place). Business has been off the hook! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]. Not sure when I am going to get to the track with the car. It is finished and running good. Just bangin around town for now.

Cannot say I am going to Rusty. Still been buried at work. I have been doing a little &quot;testing&quot; that has revealed I am real lean on the top end. With limited time, I have not been able to spend the time necessary to work through it. It's going to take some diagnostics from someone who is smarter at FI than myself. Pulls good on the low end but lays down up top and is not pulling a good MPH.

The wait continues.....................

Tim

I posted in the parts wanted section. Looking for a complete 4.56 center section of someone has one at a nice price. Otherwise, I'll stick with plan A and build one.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim--I have the 4:56 center section out of our 409. Make me an offer-tell me what it's worth.
