Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Bought another full shortblock for $150 last night. Needs rings the guy said. It came with waterpipe, front case, ofh, etc, so it was a good deal to say the least. Cylinder walls look glazed, but undamaged, rest of the motor looks fine from external inspection. At least it will be a better motor to start with that the old one. Probably get it on the stand and get it torn down in the next few weeks, get it ridge reamed and torque plate honed, and put new bearings and rings in it. Only thing that slows me down is going to TX to visit Kracka for a few days soon (see: hookers and blow), and moving the middle of June. This thing looks to have some sort of hope of running this year though!
