I sure miss Tom's tales. All I ever had to do was ask what he was working on most recently, and I would hear some pretty cool stuff. Boats, cars, trucks, snowmobiles...you name it. I do miss it. What is the name of his diesel place again?

Man, I saw a TON of turbo rigs at the ski race this weekend. Lots of exposed motors in the smaller boats. I'd guess mostly Pfaff and Brummett power. Vern was running an old Gentry type set up in the big Platinum as well. Seemed to run good.
Looks like Larry is saying that the block and rotating assy may have survived the carnage after all. If that's the case, I'll postpone my forced induction project until the next kaboom!
