I now have roughly $1,500 into this truck. Damnit. And why the fuck doesn't Schuck's stock front cover gasket sets and timing chains for Ford 460 in every store? There are only about 500,000 of this engine around, after all, but nowhere near as many as the ubiquitous chev 350. They've been making the 460 since around 1963, with only two or three redesigns made in that time period, the damn timing chain and sprokets are the same on models of that engine that leave the plant today as they were in July of 1977 when mine did.

So now my truck has to sit with the engine halfway torn down in my shop until MONDAY. Damnit Joey. Know what I'll be doing monday after work? That's right, re-assembling a Ford big block. Fuck. Wonder if the guys at Schuck's work on commission, if so then Joe is gonna be glad I bought this damn thing.

But I am pleased with my puchase. I've always wanted my very own big block. So what if I'll only get 7 mpg. It'll be faster than hell. Just get those secondaries to open up and it becomes a blue rocket.

Heh I saw on the mainpage that the blogger guys just got a VA Linux server. So did Bethel. There is now a blackboard server in the district (if any of you know of blackboard.com) The problem with that server is that it's power indicator is a piercing blue LED. We covered ours with a paper napkin and scotch tape after two days it was so bright. Sweet server though, running Redhat 6.2 also (no blasted NT those two geeks are so hot for NT damn they are dumb)

Well it's time for a shower, as I sit here I keep finding kitty litter in my hair (not from a litter box I used it on the shop floor where coolant, oil, trans fluid and gasoline were all spilled in a puddle together from my project; then I had to lay in it to get some bolt or another on the bottom.)

Later.
