Ron, let me know how that comes out. I met Mr. Merrit from Humansville that other evening, he is coming back this afternoon. I loaned him the pattern for the copper intake/exhaust gasket. He is going to loan me his aluminum adapter plate so I can make a pattern of it. I got the pushrods from Manton last week, they look great. The engine is all but done. You need to come down this was some time, I'll take you for a ride in the Studebaker, it has a passenger seat with a seat belt.
