Hi Lloyd,

Now that would be a sight (and sound) to hear you coming out of the
chicane full throttle!!!!!?

Bummer about the rod knock? let us know what comes of it.? Don't
forget, Mark A is running a 6.5 liter.? You know once its open you
might as well..? Funny how easy it is to spend other peoples money ;-)

A couple of other thoughts,?? There is that guy in St Louis (cant
remember the name or web page --search the rennlist) He has complete
rebuilt GT motor with ported and polished heads for $4500.? And if
you're really adventurous check out Sterling Gees page,? he? has lots
of ways to spend money!!!.???

Anyway , hope it turns out OK.

Later,

Tom
