Well Holly and I are officially married...

We were married on the 4th of August @ La Hacienda Grande in Bernalillo. We just snuck in got married and left for Maui! If we’d had time it would have been fun to see everyone but you know how weddings are.

My parents are in the process of moving/buying a house in Placitas (moving from Dallas TX.) Maybe once they are settled in I’ll get my dad to go on some runs with HDC. He’s got a 01 4Runner that he bought after driving my 4Runner.

The FJ-40 is running good now that everything has been replaced or rebuilt. I finally used the 4x4 for some rock crawling but quickly broke my first birfeild when I got hung up on a rock.

Starting the new engine for the first time - My friend Pablo adjusting the distributor.

That engine sounds sweet. What mods does it have?

It's got a CompCam High torque camshaft, shorty headers, Edlebrock performer intake, and a Holley truck avenger 670 cfm.

Congrats on the wedding Steve!

I thought your 40 already had a SBC? Did you get a new one?

I did but it blew up...to make a long story short: gas in the engine oil washed the bearings and rings until a piston ruptured. So the video is of the new 305 SBC I got from Pablo.

Pablo's happy dance is very amusing.
