Another engine

Thanks to Mike Straub at Hanover European Auto Parts, we have another 2.1L short block for the Fart-hinder racecar. It will be delivered on Friday to Mark at SVS, Inc. in Duluth, who has offered to do the rebuilding for us. Thanks for all your help!!!

Update 6/12/10: I stripped the pistons and crank out of the "new" short block just after it was delivered to SVS. Took the crank to Midwest Engine in Duluth for polishing, and had the block washed in a dishwasher type parts washer. Adding a bit of paint to the block today (Saturday), while the other team members are busily removing the engine from the race car at the shop in Maple Grove.
