it is disappointing that the unlimited innovation of LSR has seen fit to 
limit rear steer.....

how's it going JD?

I got back from the Antarctic without freezing any important parts....

am now working on the 348 Chevy intake, putting a Megasquirt  injection 
system on it, I'm gonna drag the Pig into the 21st century.... then after 
learning about the MS system, gonna MS the Dodge Colt, and maybe even the 
BSA....the 348 intake is the old dual plane manifold design, so when I 
insert the bungs for the injectors, they end up at different heights, 
making it difficult to do an elegant plumbing solution....will be 
interesting to see how much better the 348 responds to the throttle when it 
is set up correctly on EFI....to say nothing of getting better fuel mileage 
(I hope, I hope)
