Not sure if you guys read about the motorsprots park coming to the mobile, AL area. It got big press here in pensacola since the earnhardts are one of the investors. Supposed to be 1/4 strip, 7/10 oval nascar style, 3 mile road course, and a midget track. I'm looking forward to it if it all comes together. I saw about a month ago that a site has been selected.

MollyOrange is up around Jackson. I'm gonna try to meet up with him when I get back from this deployment overseas.
It'll be nice to have a pro-touring contingent at Cruisin' the Coast too. Even though you are a drag racer it'll be nice to hang out with some like minded folks. I know it's not till October but I will hafta get the cuda going.
You know any machine shops up there?Johnny C.

StatisTraction, I have a Mopar 360 I need to get bored to .030 over and some oiling modifications done to the oil galley (tube). Also an oil crossover tube in the valley. I have instructions to do all that because I know most places are Chevy and Ford influenced. The small bloc Mopar has some issues with oiling when you go big.
I have a forged rotating assembly, 4" stroke crank, shouldn't be any clearance issues, and a D1-SC ProCharger centrifugal SC.
I am in a strange and distant land right now but my battalion gets back to Gulfport in about a month and I would like get the block machined and have the engine assembled not long after. I have been saving for the other parts and will be ordering everything to complete the engine the week I get back or before on the parts that will need some lead time to get there.
So I guess the works if they can do it. Machining and assembly. I would put it together myself if it was just a rebuild but I would rather have someone that does it for a living tackle this one.
I'd like to get up there and talk to some machine shops. I know it's nearly impossible to do a ballpark figure on machine work. Machine shops on the coast are more trouble than what they're worth.
Oh, and welcome Chevella. This is a pretty good site, glad to see more folks from MS on here.Johnny C.

He certainly sounds capable, StatisTraction. Are you aware if he is familiar with Mopars. Alot of guys say they all bolt together the same and while that is true, the small mopar does have oil system issues that would need to be addressed. I can get him the information on how to go about that, no problem.
Now all I have to do is wait for that plane ride back home!Johnny C.

Molyorange 77,
What kind of car do you have? My rear end is apart right now as well. I am working on the rear disc set up. I hope to have every thing back together in a couple of weeks. We'll have to meet up at one of the cruise in's in April!

I have a 77 camaro 388/w 6speed richmond, my rear is also a mess I am now replacing an old posi and changing ring and pinion this weekend. I bought a detriot true trac I want to see if they are anygood, Alot of the guys on this site recommend them so i'll try anything once. I started out looking for a 1970-73 camaro and I could not find one to my liking and happened to be driving through an old neighborhood and this one was sitting in a back yard with a for sale sign and $200 and a new battery and drove it home 2 days later. Its rough but looks are not what Im after I just want a strong running beater- believe me its a beater!

Sounds like a cool ride. I have always been a fan of the 70 to 73 camaro's as well. I was actually looking for one when I bought my Chevelle. The only reason I went with the Chevelle was like you I got a really good deal on it and the wife liked it better, which made things a lot easier. It is also somewhat of a beater with a cheap paint job that was on it when I got it. You may have seen it around, it is a malibu, white with black stripes. I just put the new wheels on it, before it had ralleys. How do you like the Richmond? I eventually want to go with a 5 or 6 speed.
