Well good luck, I'm following your steps SLOOOOOWLY!!

btw, how much will it cost you for the transmission rebuild? Will you still use the PI converter?

Why the 298 stroker and not the 302?

I've heard 302 makes problems with the knocking sensors, asked Adam about that and thats why he uses the 298.

I was told by someone at my dealer that you can still do 302 but you have to re-locate the knock sensors. That's why I ask.

I wonder if that's what they did to StrokerStang's 302 stroker (as seen on Horsepower TV)?

I found this out last night when I called Adam........he let the cat out of the bag!
July 11th or so is when Adam swaps my engine for a 298 stroker. Of course, he has to wait for con rods because you took the set in his shop!

I'll call your 5 hour drive, and raise you another 20 hours!!

Trevor, you need to plan some time in Washington on your way back up so we can do some "spirited" driving
