I looked around the TMS web site they recommend coming in from the west on 114. I looked at a map that LOOKS like it is doable. We are trying to get to the track by 10:30 AM - hopefully avoiding a crowd. And I'm definitely not in a hurry, but sitting in a traffic jam for 30-60 minutes is not my idea of a good start to the day. I'll sit it out for an hour or two after the race before leaving. John have a good time yourself we can compare notes on monday. On 4/12/07, John W.

It takes 3 to 3 1/2 hours to empty the traffic after it is over. D.R. Jones --- John W. Lonadier, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds good to me.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 396/325
If it has been wrapped up for the past 20 years I'd see if it'll turn over. I'd pull the pan and check at least one main and one rod bearing for any rust. Maybe get it in writing that if (when) you pull the heads that there won't be any rust buildup around the rings. I'm sure it hasn't been kept in a temperature controlled environment for 20 years. The #3916323 casting is a 68 block, makes me curious as to why no numbers were ever stamped on it. ?
