Update on Big Blue: runs on starter fluid, so everything is OK. Haven't jumpered the fuel pump relay to get clean fuel up there, but I think it will run fine, just haven't got a cooling system.......!

I have located a couple engines for transplant, will check one this week to make sure it isn't locked up with rust, and will pull it (and possibly the other one, too, to put in my brother's Chevy 1-ton!) in the next week or so.

We found out yesterday that we have tickets to the Brickyard 400, on short notice, so will be out of town this weekend!
