First off we melted a piston and trashed the block on the 56 Chevy in October so that one is already a work in progress. Then we're doing an upgraded rear end for my sons Nova. We put a dart little "m" 408 nitrous motor in it towards the end of the season and we know the 10 bolt posi thats in it wont handle it anymore. Finally i'm building a 6-71 blown small block to replace the 331 tunnel ram motor for the 55 wagon but i dont anticipate the swap to take place till maybe May or June.

Well, it looks like we are keeping the car 1 more season. The 2010 motor was drained and ready to come out as the spare. The 2009 season motor is V's for a freshen up. Just got the heads and intake back from Brodix. I have been reviewing some of the items on the car. Time to get it on a diet. Just knocked 20lbs off the car with a battery change. Looking at some other items that I may change out. Rather than that, drop the motor and go.
