Spoke to machine shop this evening re cc's. Will get 9:7 CR with the stock pistons and have room to do the chambers nice, maniflow intake is in and ship date for all the goodies is early next week. Can't wait to see what the flow test is at. Long wait for mods, great guys. Can't wait to get him screaming.

Of course I added a few extra bucks tonight, do every time we talk.

25 years I have owned my BE and am so anxious to have the upgrades. Thank you all for the sound advice.

Off to play with rear springs again tonight, second wind. Need to schedule my vacation.

Thanks all! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
It should be a FUN car! You'll be over the moon for the way it changes the whole feel of the car. You're having the shop match the chambers ("CC the head"), too, right?
 
BE = Bugeye.....hehehehehe
 
Yes Doc, of course, did you see my previous thread of the total mods, value your opinion!!!! - some of the best info I have ever gotten has been from you Doc, Jack, Tony and of course Kenny and Janel. If I left your out my apologize.

Looks very complete to me! I'm not doin' the assembly, so I can't "see" how it's going but it sounds as if it'll be a really well planned unit. From the "build list" it appears it'll give you a great-giant GRIN as you pedal it around and THAT'S what it's all about after all.
 
Beep beep, Bugeye comming through.
