Hi all,

Last year I rebuilt an engine for Lurch. He was getting so tired he had a hard time getting on and off the trailer!

I documented the journey on the VCCA's web site. If you're interested, here's a link to the story: Lurch's heart (engine) transplant

Enjoy, Dean

Congrats on an awesome truck.

1) I did not read the thread, but I did go to the last page and find your video of the startup. Super cool.
2) I LOVE the way those Chevy 4 cyls sound. Nothing like it.
3) I cannot think of a better name for a 1927 than "Lurch." Well done.

I know this is off topic, I put an early Chevy II 4 banger in my Jeep, had to move up to the 6 cyl. Class.
