At last count, I had ten blogs and they were starting to get unruly, so I've moved them all off my home server to TypePad! I was using Moveable Type software which is cool but I'm too lazy to maintain it. TypePad is the same company and so now everything is centrally hosted and pro-level. I wanted to spruce up all the blogs with the move and so I've redesigned Pirates to make the move simpler. All the pictures are in photo albums to the side. There are a few hundred pictures there now. The engine build pictures are clearer since they were all made with a digital camera, and the trip pics are all blurry since that is my older cell phone camera.
This year's engine masters is another year of small blocks and I am eager to see who enters the competition. CNC head porting is commonplace these days so the flow numbers will be awesome. I was at Westech a few months back with an import engine! I was trying to get 25hp out of my little 100hp scion Xb. The task was next to impossible (sans turbo or supercharger) but I was very impressed how good modern engine engineering has become. The engines in today's cars are really very efficient and well designed.
If you enjoy fiberglass, paint, and wrenching, you might also enjoy my older site which also got a facelift Cobra Lads. Hope you enjoy the pictures and stories on both these blogs.
