    Ha. Famous last words. I see an M5T build in the works for sure. I mean clearly you'll try to pretend its not gonna happen. But its gonna happen. Or you could LS swap it. There used to be a really sweet LS swapped E39 wagon down in your neck of the woods.

    I am putting way too much money into my Z31 to even consider an M5it. I just want something cool that we can all drive that I can also work on.

    I have very few heroes,but he was one.
    a quote I have seen today

    Three years ago, at a celebration for his 85th birthday, Gurney’s son Justin praised his famous dad.

    “You don’t realize how cool this guy is,” he said.



    Yes, we do, Justin.

    Starting to look good Leo. Nice to see you got a BIG oil pan.
    Got some headers on my LS3, the rest won't arrive for another 4 weeks.
    Started to epoxy the garage floor today.

    I enjoyed a vodka martini (stirred, I don't have a cocktail shaker) while watching Spectre tonight. Awesome cinematography in it.

    I haven't seen Spectre from the beginning. I liked Skyfall a lot.

    Looking good. Did you degree the cam?
    My MSD starter arrived today, it's good for up to 18:1 compression.

    Machine shop degreed the cam.

    MSD starter eh? I just picked up a Powermaster mini starter food for 11:1. Using it on the small block and then the big block later.

    621 bell housing takes a specific starter nose.



    Oh also.. just scooped these guys up. Got quoted 3-4 weeks for these to come in, local speed shop got em in 3 days.




    I am extremely excited.

    Those are some nice looking AFR heads, they should flow well.
    My starter is a mini too, MSD-5096.
    Snotty, it's like Xmas never ended.
