Looks good Jack!

Better weather than us....freezing rain yesterday, just plain COLD today. Not the best day for tractor repairs, but did it anyway

That is really looking good. I'm just wondering since you're so modest about the great work you do just what do you mean by a "mild" 355...

Thanks Steve,
You're much too kind... 🙂 The engine is rather mild. Nothing radical about it. A 4-bolt main truck block, cast crank, flat top pistons, stock heads with a 3-angle valve job, a Comp Cams 268 cam, 1.5 roller tip rockers, a Performer intake with a 600 cfm Holley carb, Accel HEI distributor and a set of Blackjack headers. Probably putting out around 300 hp. I build it more for longevity with some performance. I'd like to add a set of Vortec heads down the road....and of course finish my 200-4R trans. and change the gears back to 3.42.

Thanks Brian.
I did see the weather map earlier. A big chunk of the country is experiencing a nasty cold front...including California, Arizona, and you guys in Oklahoma, and Texas. It's heading east, so I'll enjoy it while it's here. We've been lucky so far.

Glad you are having some mild weather. It is 28 degrees here in sunny Phoenix this AM. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yes Paul, I've seen it on the Weather channel. That's gotta be some record breaking weather. I've never heard it get that cold in Phoenix...and southern California for that matter. :shock:

Hey Jack, every time I see the progress you have made I feel lazy by comparison. That's gonna be some smooth wagon!
