What's up with the other 2F motor ?
 
Its not that bad. I'm estimating I will be spending about $10k in the next month between the two trucks. I just got the word that I am going to India for a few weeks the end of Feb. so now I want to make sure everything is done before I leave. I have different shops handling all of the work so its actually going to be worked on instead of me trying to find the time. All I am doing is getting the SC rebuilt, the TB bored out, the Intake matched, the intake and exhaust ceramic coated, the head ported and polished, blah blah blah. Depending on the timing I may throw in the intake and exhaust for this 60 as well. We shall see.

Hey, I am sitting in Chandigarh, India and killing time to call home on Skype. I just came across this trial of pain and suffering. My 60 is sitting at home with the dash and heater all over the floor when I got the call to take off for India. I'll be here in India until end of March, so call me when you get here. Good luck with the details before you leave.

Cool deal. I will be in Chennai and Mumbai and anywhere else the new sales person I hired takes me. I will drop you a note before I leave :cheers:
 
Just replied to your PM. Be cool to meet up somewhere. I've only seen 2 80 series in 6 weeks.
I'll keep looking. So long for now. J
 
So just got the call from Georg. It's coming down to the Valley on Saturday and getting dropped off at K&H. Gonna have to get Richard a case of cigars for coming in on a Saturday.

The engine for the LX is done on Friday so both engines can be installed during the following week or two. I'm out of the country come Friday but it looks like I will have two new vehicles to put around in when I get back :D
 
Georg dropped off the motor yesterday and the old motor comes out tomorrow. It should be ready to drive this week!!! Woohoo!!

The LX has been pushed back now because of Martins workload. At least two more weeks. At least we will have one vehicle to drive ;)
 
post some pics when you do the engine swap.


Get a kevlar mask for Spike in case he is helping you again.

Heading over to K&H now to give some last minute words of encouragement.

Yup. On a plane.

Drama does find me.

So I have been waiting for my Visa to India to come in. This required me sending my passport to San Fransisco to the Indian Consulate. The Visa company was supposed to meet me at LAX when the package arrived as part of a cargo courier. As I was finishing up packing to head to LAX I get the call that my Visa wasn't going to be ready today. Fxxx. So now they are working on getting it to me for a flight tomorrow. I can't change my return trip due to a wedding in Costa Rica so now all I am doing is limiting my trip while in India.

Cut back to this afternoon.

The engine Georg dropped off wasn't the engine Georg nor I expected it to be. Richard was going to tear off the head to inspect but ran out of time so now its going to happen tomorrow. Its pushing back the truck even further which means the wife wants to kill me. I'm getting it from all end s right now. Too stressful for a Monday.
 
If it gets postponed again I may just cancel and postpone til sometime in May I think. You know, when the weather is hotter and muggier.

AAARRRGGHHHHH!!!
