Some things are certainly frustrating. The "real" blower arrived today... it's a beautiful piece of work, but the nose drive is 7/8" longer than what I specified:

Nice looking rotor pack with Teflon coated rotors:


I guess tomorrow they'll get to decide whether they want to send another nose drive and some oil or if they'd rather send another S/C along with a pickup ticket for this one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

On the positive side, the blower outlet plenum is almost finished.... it's a beautiful piece also.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />... still have to clean up the port edges, drill/tap for the S/C plate mounting studs and bead blast it for a nice cosmetic finish.... delays here after the spindle bearing on the old Bridgeport mill burnt and had to be replaced..... not too surprising if you could see the pile of aluminum chips about 2' deep x 6' across. There's now a couple hundred dollars of scrap aluminum on the floor..... and more to come. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Today saw a '58 Chevy Implala 348 Tri-Power leave the shop with a fresh engine, rebuilt 700R4 and a rebuilt posi-traction rear end.... a beautiful red car. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
