I can get pics when I go home again, but first I thought I'd see if there was any interest. Basically I have a complete, but disassembled 468 big block Olds. When it was last run a freeze plug came out and but the engine also got water (probably a quart in 10 minutes of run time) in the crank...

I'll soon be starting my 2nd month as a service advisor for a Chevy dealership in Lubbock, Tx. I'm really only posting this in case it can help someone here. I'd be happy to run any GM VIN through GM Global to give you service history, warranty/recall info, and/or a build sheet. Or...of course...

I went to the grocery store today...it's about a 2 mile trip. I only saw three vehicles with their hood up.

I had a lot written down to say/post here. But the more I think about it, the more I just can’t write it. I had some things written that sounded very good, eloquent, and even poetic. My words spoke to the sacrifice and bravery of all our soldiers. But the bottom line is - I really just want to...

Is anyone going to be out on Alan Henry over Labor Day weekend? We should be out there either Sat or Sun. Maybe both...

So - I'm moving to Lubbock at the end of July/first of August. Any members up there? Where do we go boating? The only thing I can find is Lake Allen Henry. How is it? Jen and I will be moving so she can go to Texas Tech law school.......we'll have almost no friends there...so I'm hoping I...

Unfortunately it's time to part with my beloved 2005 450X. It is legitimately street legal, and is titled in TX as such. Everything about this bike passes state inspection without issue, except the tires which are not DOT approved - but I have still been able to get it inspected without a...

Made my own Solar Eclipse...

So, I'm not 100% sure I'm going to change the boat - but I'm sure sometime between now and the next two years I'll get bored enjoying a boat that runs well. Here are the options: 1) Keep the same EFI'd 550hp 383 LS1, add water injected headers and an engine cover. 2) Keep the LS1 - but drop...

Sold.

Right now, I'm turning a stainless B to 5800-5900 rpm and running 82 mph. The engine makes peak torque right around 4500 rpm and peak horsepower at 5800-5900 rpm. Alright...so I'm thinking about switching to an A impeller. The main reason is to lower the cruise RPM...but I'm wonder if anyone...

Are there any meet ups planned for this Saturday? I had so much fun at Whitney I thought I'd see if there's going to be a gathering again this weekend. EDIT: I'm in Cross Plains, pretty close to Abilene - I'm hoping to keep the drive under 3 hours.

So...after calling a few companies for insurance on my 21' Liberator jet, I keep getting told they don't insure boats like mine. Anyone here been successful in getting insurance on a tunnel jet with more than 250 hp? If so...from where?

I've posted some about my boat over the years...but never really the progression in one place. So...several years ago I had a '71 Horizon 18' v-hull jet boat with a 468 Olds. It was my first boat, it was cheap, and it was lake ready. That was all I needed to know. It was also relatively fast...

So...after a few months off grid and away from civilization...I'm back - which also means I'm woefully out of the loop. So...where is everyone going to be for Memorial Day? I'd assume Broken Bow, but will anyone still be hanging around any Texas lakes? Also...if you guys could be a sport and...
