Have you recently bumped your head really hard? Or are you heavily medicated for something?
No but I will laugh at all the strughles you may face with such an endeavor....and yes, I will laugh at you for having a pregnant roller skate for a car
Don't those come in shoe size.

I dug out the 400 crank we are putting in CP's block. It has not seen the light of day in 12 years. Maybe more. Yeah it is more.
It is slathered in axle grease.
Cleaned off the main journals and it is swinging in the front and rear mains. I cleaned off the rod journals after I took this pic.
I need to hang a rod/piston to see where I need to clearance the oil pan rail for the longer stroke...

I got into autox back in the late 70's when I lived in Key West; there was a guy down there that had a late '50's Fiat Abarth that wasn't particularly fast but was a downright badass on an autox course. It wasn't very often that he didn't have top time of day at an event. In race trim it was just under 1000 pounds and had a sub 1 liter engine in it. Slicks on all 4 corners and some gnarly fender flares were a pretty good indication that he didn't come out to play! Couldn't stand the sound of that little zinger when he had it wound up but it's rumored that back in the day the go kart racers used to say their karts cornered like a raped Abarth!!
Just watched.it. They were freaking flying. 203 on fresh rubber. Mid to high 190's on older rubber.

Miraculously, the Crew Cab drove under it’s own power this afternoon. Still some kinks to work out with the starter, but the new/used engine is buttery smooth.

I was pretty surprised. Fingers crossed that it’ll last. Inside was squeaky clean so I’m cautiously optimistic.
2K in and change the oil. Just do.

Totally dumped my homemade bike hot rod thing last night. Came around a corner about 20-25 and hit a sand patch and hit the brakes when i shoulda rode it out. So happy I was wearing a real helmet, i rode it home but i havent gone outside yet to look at the damage.. lots of lessons learned.

That sucks but at least you ar ok. Glad you had a real helmet too. I see so many people with tiny skul cap helmets. I have never riden a motorcycle, but as a racer I appreciate a good helmet
