So I'm going to Seattle tomorrow afternoon. Have to leave San Antonio International Airport at 7:10AM, which means I have to wake up around 5:30AM if I want to sneak in a shower...well...six and a half hours from now. I've flown on less sleep. At least I'll have the benefit of being dropped off at my oldest brother's house around 1:00PM, and am not expecting anyone until four o' clock or so, so I'll be able to get some sleep.

Of course my carry-on bag is missing, and I don't have time to wash my Air Force kit bag, which means I had to wrap my clothes in a blanket and then put that in the bag. Not proud of it, but this is the life of a busy man.

I feel like shit. Didn't sleep much this morning, and probably won't sleep much tonight. I KNOW I won't sleep on the plane either....I never fucking do. And without a carry on this means I get to carry a half dozen torn and ripped magazines to read. Well, at least I have something to read besides the catalogs on the plane.

Talk to ya'll in a few days and let ya'll know how the new engine is. Might even take a few pictures if I remember my digital camera (and I probably won't).

Have a good weekend.

Oh, and this one's for you KreatinKaos, I just found out that the Caddy 500 DOES fit in a 78-83 Malibu, and that in fact it fits with only the smallest mods (frame notch and modified aftermarket crossmember). In fact, I found a couple guys that have done it with stock driveshafts! eeek That's fifteen hundred dollars I wouldn't have to spend on a driveshaft (naturally if I get one made it's going to be a bad ass expensive one). Not sure on the power accessories, though, but will find out in good time.

Just imagine: a 3200lbs Malibu with 512 inches of bored out big block and 500+hp/650+ ft-lbs on pump gas. Gotta love it. The guys who I found that did this were running mid-13 at the track on street tires and the wrong gearing (for some insane reason a Caddy BB will run a higher ET with 3.08s then it will with 3.42s, and some pro drag racers even run 2.73s at the track on slicks). I bet with a built tranny, slicks, and the right gearing I could post low-12s, high-11s. On a pump gas motor. Just imagine the nitrous possibilities (hell 10s! biggrin ). Shit, 12s are scary fast in a daily driver - most people that think they can handle that really can't.

Course if I build that car you know I'd have to marry a woman that owned a tire shop, or my bank account would be perpetually empty! biggrin Just the kind of problem I actually WANT!

The guys are using the 2.73 rear end with an automatic trans equiped with a 4500RPM stall speed torque converter , this setup minimizes wheelspin off the line with street tires and the torque converter is constantly multiplying torque , this is how John Lingenfelter builds his newer 10 second vettes , he uses a 3.08 rear end and an electronic torque converter that only locks up in top gear . I don't know what mods will have to be done to the aftermarket crossmember , but I believe the frame notch is for exhaust clearance biggrin
