    having no work certainly sucks the way of the country unfortunately I will probs be in this vote may nest year when our new ceo at edi decides that labour hire is the best thing in his opinion cause when works low in his words just send the guys fishing for 3 months

    HA that was to good to be true unfortunately it didn't include labour nor bottom end and the nastiest set of heads known to man so would of been like the crate 393 after all LOLOLO, I spoke to russ through pm and he did actually put me onto some goodies I guess the old 351 is not like building a supercharged BA xr8 I need to get in the old school state of mind
