    Thanks you. :tiphat:

    Yeah it's a Poly 318. I am still hoping to get to part of Route 66 next year, so this is all part of the plan. It's been a long methodical process. But I'm determined to make the Fury as safe and reliable as I can before we partake on a journey like that.
    I have the 4 barrel intake for it sitting on the floor in the way back. I just recently discovered that a coworker of mine is a Poly 318 nut. He said he'll install the four barrel and get it running good for me before cruising weather hits. I'm planning to take it to him next week.

    Well if you get to New Mexico, which by the way has the most still in service Route 66 I’ll even let you park in the driveway. Lol that would be a fun road trip. Already have some ice cream joints on Central Ave (rte 66) picked out!

    I'll have to list for you where Leadslead took his family and I, so you'll know how close you would be to 66 in New Mexico and NW Texas.

    Yeah! Love that idea Jeremiah! Might even have a place or two myself. Especially if you do Arizona, NM and Texas. I’ll have to defer to Marshall on the Texas piece.

    Uh, I've never been to Texas (although I'd like to visit there). Perhaps you have me confused Mr 81x11, Mike Massey.

    Yes sorry Marshall. I was looking at a post of yours while I was typing the answer to Jeremiah, thinking about Andrew. As I get older I realize I need to focus. My multi-task skills are like the ole grey mare. They ain’t what they used to be. Lol.

    Been a long time since I have heard anything from Texas Mike. I thought I heard rumblings he was going to check in and update us on what's been going on with life. But that was a while ago and I never saw anything.

    I always think of you and Ferguson and McCluer HS. Can’t forget Paul’s meat market. Now that we’ve completely confused everybody! Lol

    It would be good to hear from Mike and how life's treating him. His boys must be driving by now, I wonder what vehicles they are playing with. I know how easy it is to have life get in the way and not spend time on the forums but eventually they lure you back.

    Look him up on Facebook and send him a friend request.

    His latest project is fixing up his youngest son's '93 S-10 Blazer (4-door), and his son's only 14 1/2. He'll have a real nice ride when he gets his license. His son is also going take over taking care of the '82 Camaro from his older brother.
