I'm in a fishing tournament this weekend so I won't get Bix down there until just before you show up. Unless they can put your motor in mine, Bix may be in SC until late July. The first available appointment is mid July.

You were asking how I liked the tires on the truck. Raining this am on the way to work and some idiot decides I don't need any stopping room so he jambs himself between me and the car in front. Car in front has to stop, meets the car that cut me off up close and personal, I thought I was going to pay for it all, but stopped a foot short of him.

As I drove by as he was getting out, I rolled down the window and said "That is why I had left some space in case I had to stop. You should try it!" He was not very appreciative of my advise, actually gave me the finger. I gave my business card to the guy that got hit, in case he needed a witness.

You are a good man Critter. Most would have kept driving.

I don't know ~~who~~ how 'good' I was being, I made sure the B@ST@RD that hit him saw me give the other driver my card.

right letters, wrong order.

Critter- street justice king

OK, so after MANY days & MANY $$$$.$$ the coupe finally has a new POWAH plant. Just waiting for the new tune from Trifecta.
It remains as stage II supercharged

Here's the goodies:
-Wiseco pistons w/ceramic coated tops
-Carillo Pro-SA rods
-Supertech (dual) valve springs
-Supertech Valves
-ARP head studs
-competition head porting/polishing/shaving/3 way valve job
-polished & balanced crank shaft
...and a partridge in a pear tree (bearings/gaskets/bolts/etc...etc...)

Thanks to DDM, John (supervisor), Joe for helping & the wives for moral support.
And another thanks to DDM for the installation of a loner motor (which is now in Crittermans car) while I waited so (im)patiently

So after break in & tune tweak it will be time for a rematch with the Boss... Let The Ass Kicking Commence... again

Congrats Jimmy! Glad to see you with your motor on the street again. Long in coming but I am sure it was worth the wait.

Great news Jimmy! I'm sure you and the Mrs are happy to see it back home. And of course a huge thank you to DBG for all the help and support he's put into your project.

Jimmy you might want to let him win one, after all he did do a lot of work, especially on my car. Be a man take one for the team.

Than why you don't take one for the team?

PS. Remember I'm on Jimmy's side cause he was considered an underdog.

Damn, you are worse than my mother.

JimmyBaja · « **Reply #90 on:** June 06, 2012, 11:32:56 AM »

Ok, I'll let him win one... red light (insert evil laugh here).

Joe (and Dee), you didn't have to go down to DDM with us but you did anyway and I REALLY APPRECIATED that my friend. You truly have a big heart and ALL you do is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU!!!
Jimmy

Kelu,

I let him win all the time, I know where my bread is buttered.

Kelu · « **Reply #92 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:52:12 PM »

Not anymore with a rebuilt engine

Critterman · « **Reply #93 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:55:19 PM »

I don't have a rebuilt engine, I have a Jimmy used engine. I may need Joe's help when mine is ready. And don't you have a wedding to get ready for?

Kelu when It comes to Critter there is no "I" in team.

Critterman · « **Reply #95 on:** June 06, 2012, 04:51:31 PM »

There never has been an "I" in TEAM

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #96 on:** June 06, 2012, 04:56:01 PM »

There is a U in suck, just sayin'. And no coaches don't think that's very funny ask me how I know.

Critter I've seen your spelling and I'd bet from time to time there could be an I in team.

I was referring for the time when you will have the rebuilt engine.

I'm almost ready, ssshhh, ladies need to know I'm ready all the time
