LOL, now that was kinda funny

For Georges sake, it'd be nice if the posts stayed on his topic.

Scott, I hope you'll share some information, or even better, have a thread on the engine that you build. I, for one, would be interested in seeing what improvements and ideas you come up with. I'm sure they'd be interesting to others as well.

Yeah, I used to say that all the time. When I was eight.

Thanks cjshaker.

Similar to Ford casting numbers - use the drill bit test as a "disqualifier" rather than as a max bore defining tool.  If a block does not "pass" the drill bit test you know that it's not a real 428, or not a good candidate for other stuff.  It tells you about the outside of the cylinder core, but does not tell you anything about the relative position of the inside of that core/bore.

Thanks, that makes sense to me.

George, are you going to sonic check your block?

[George vega]

Yes definitely, like someone said, the drill bit or Allen wrench methods of checking the cyl thickness just tells you wether the block is a candidate for further checking with a sonic check.

Come on man, enough is enough.

Enough is when you learn a more dignified approach in offering your opinions to vested members here who know a bunch more than you do about this subject. Building an FE in your garage 7 years ago does not make you king shit.

As for myself, I am a known factor. When Jay posts "Gentlemen...." I know he ain't talking to me.

[funsummer]

Gentlemen and those that refer to themselves as not.
This is a FE forum and people like me, 43 years young and of no FE experience enjoy reading and learning from some very smart and innovative fe engine builders.
This is a fantastic forum for learning about FE performance modification and tuning.
On here there is a very broad and respectful bunch of people.
Please try to respect one another and don't drag the conversations into personal disagreements.
It's a great forum let's keep it that way.
Cause I still got a heap to learn!
Thanks
Joel

LOL...hey, send me a pm, or don't, but lets stop crapping on George's thread, OK?

You had already been squawking from the commode long before I showed up, so take your own advice and STFU.

[Tommy-T]

Squawking from the commode! That's funny.

While Scott's comments are bit brash to we very sensitive FE types, I believe his intentions are genuine. Maybe we can learn from the Rat Motor Man.

I've given a lesson to more than one Rat in a  street confrontation with my FE...BUT...I've TAKEN a lesson from RAT a time or 2(3,4,5 or more) as well.

The swipe at Joe Craine needs to be apologized for.   

[George vega]

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. Lots of good info. I'll post after I get a little more into it. Still have to tapp all the plugs and drill out #2, 3  and 4 main to cam holes and changed all the bearing holes.
