I have all the parts machined and ready to assemble, but they're still in Baton Rouge. Last year was hard on me financially.

I'm running way behind on this project, but I should have it up and running by this summer.

It will have a solid flat-tappet cam.

Sorry I can't offer any actual experience, but it's the best I can do. Everyone will definitely hear about it when it's up and running.

I have one, if the planets ever get aligned right I might get it back together with a UD276/284F10 solid. Maybe another week or two.
