Great news on the Dove heads, and Lon or Bill I am still waiting for a 55-56 UTE the next time you come this way. I have worked down under a couple of times and was supposed to go there this past year on a job. The plant is a Fertilizer plant in Phosphate Hill, Queensland, I think the closest town was Mt Isa which I flew from there to the plant (about 250 miles from the plant) and flew from the plant to Townsville on the way home. It is one of the most remote plants on earth, thats why they have their own airport to fly in and out of the plant.

I have not made it to Columbus to meet you yet but I am looking forward to it, soon I hope. If I get down under again I will look you up and maybe take a detour from work. Maybe I can bring home a few sets of Rollmasters in my luggage.

Bill,  I just used a set of ARP 154-6004 rod bolts in a set of C2 rods which, if memory serves me correctly, has the same clamping distance as the C1 rods.

Bill, pay no heed to what Lon has to say, It would be great to have more Aussie's up for the shoot-out (especially ones that can drive ). In all fairness Lon had some disadvantages working against him, but once he pays for my airline ticket to Australia, Ill come down under and kick his butt!

P.S. I'm just kidding Lynne, before I get hate mail.

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Lon, g,day, i.ll put them heads on everything, including 57 ranchero if i can get them, you,ve been busy in the magazines, yes, i know the y block folks are a great bunch and strength by numbers at the drags sure helps spread the interest. Thanks john for your info re the dove project. regards bill.

Bill and Ted:

Someone on another site says they have contacted Dove, and Dove has castings ready to machine.  Should be available end of the year, they say.  We've heard that before, but maybe this time it's true.
