I've been tinkering with the Cobra motor

when I can that is. Going slow, so much other stuff to do in summer. How about the rest of you?

School, taking summer college classes
work, lawns grow alot more now than in the winter.
side work, peoples lawn mowers and whatever else I'll work on keep breaking.
Girlfriend.

I keep pretty busy.

That and it's tough to get the old man to work on the truck, since it's at his shop. Oh well, it will be done someday.

It's Farming time, me and John Deere get well acquainted this time of year. 15 hr day's the norm. I love every minute of it.

You still dont have that put back together?????

Been trying to stay busy myself. Working on cars when I can. tinkering with my Ranger. I dont like the carb that came with my supercharger. I think, for one, its to big (750) and it was, so called, "modified" to be a blow threw carb. I need to save my money and get a real blow threw carb.

Resting. The cancer I had surgery for a few years back came back on one of my regular CT scans. So I've been going everyday for radiation treatment which makes me nauseous and tired all the time. They say after another 2 weeks, I should be good to go and this whole cancer thing should be just a bad memory. It's been a fairly rough 2 weeks so far. So I'm not expecting anything better from the next 2 weeks. But I'll make it thru. Fortunately, the cancer I got is a very treatable one. I just have to go through the motions to make it go away.

I know man

there's ONE piston in the block so far. Time is an issue. Well money too really when I get far enough into the build to need more parts.

Chris, sorry to hear man. Just glad it's treatable. Hope you get to feeling better man!

I'm working on mine. Glad I have a/c in the shop cause, its getting hot here in Texas already!

Hoping by next weekend I can bust the newer engine off and hear it run! Can't wait to side-step the clutch and watch those BF's burn!

Chris, glad your stuff is treatable. I've lost to many to stuff that wasn't treatable.

BTW everyone,
Happy Fathers Day!

Thanks for all the thoughts. The prognosis is encouraging. And hopefully I can get through these last 2 weeks without loosing too much work.

WOW E3 plugs? Arnt they very pricey. Did you notice any power improvments also?

gorgo · Post by **gorgo** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:53 am

not a whole lot but the milage was the bonus for me. i paid less then $6 for them and with the price of gas up here they already paid for them selves. i was getting about 12 before now im a consistent 15. thats if i stay off the freeway. if i drive at 70 it drops to around 10-12. with the c4 im running around 3200 at 70 and that is with 34" tires and a 373 rear.

$6 a plug? For $50 bucks they better do something lol. Hmmmm, might have to check into them for my wifes V8 Mountaineer.
