Roy Merrit is a hell of a nice guy with lots of drag racing experience and a fantastic memory. We have his GMC block at the shop and awaiting pistons from JE. He and I are building almost the same engine. I finally had to use 308 inch Hudson rods and modify the hell out of them to get a decent piston in our engines. I'm still trying to get my money back from Howards but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll take you up on the visit. What's a good day to come down?

By the way, you can email me direct at "goldenri@aol.com".
