So when are "we" going to put it in Dad? We will be in Mattawan. What works for everyone else? Friday morning, Friday evening, Saturday morning? I'm going to try to get out of working on Friday so I can be there, but I know not everyone has Friday off. Let me know. Thanks

How about Friday evening say 7ish. That way everyone should be home from work and spend a little family time before. I'll do a cook out just let me know who is coming and maybe a dish to pass. Let me know! Kenn

Thanks to Glenn, A.J., Bren, and John Hanson for your help tonight. Motor is in but tinkering is required. Putting the carbs back on, Muffler, and wiring it up.

First things first, THANK YOU! AJ, Steven, Glen, John and Bren. Engine is in! Had to disassemble quite a bit the the engine to get it to go in, the carbs/ manifolds, generator pully, crank pully, and muffler just to get it to go in. The first time it wouldn't go all the way back on the input shaft. Took it back out and found that the new Kennedy stage 1 pressure plate had a ring on it the old one didn't so AJ knocked off the ring and we tried again this time we were successful but the skeeters and supper said it was time to quit. Probaly won't make the South Haven Show shooting for the German Gathering at Gilmores. Glens jack is SWEET! Someone could make money building and selling them. Although not exactly as planned I had a good time with friends and family. I'll tinker on it this next week and again THANKS to all!!!
