| (02/02/06) Today I went back down to the engine shop once again to see the progress on the
engine rebuild. I went down to drop off some parts that I needed to give to the guys as well as snap some pictures of the
rebuild as it had progressed thus far.

| I had received an email stating that they needed the crank pulley off the old motor so it
matched up to the water pump pulley that they had received from me earlier. I knew they were a matched set, so it was good
that I hadn't sold the old motor yet. Keep this in mind when you are doing a project like this. If you have old parts, keep
them until the motor is done and inside your rig running before you sell anything else off.

| I talked with Jim and they were all done on the bottom end and all that was needed was to
put on the intake, adjust the valves, put the pushrods in and put the crank pulley on. They had also asked for the motor
mounts as they were going to need them in order to build a jig for the dyno for when they tested this and broke the engine in.

I received a phone call around noontime that there was a problem with the distributor. In a
nutshell, my distributor was an electronic model that was cut down to 304 specs so the engine could run fuel injection. The
problem stemmed from the fact that I can't take the fuel injection setup out of the Jeep, so a regular distributor was going
to be needed to get this on the dyno. I located a distributor and I will pick it up tomorrow and drop it off so they can
get that in and going. Essentially, that is the last piece in the puzzle to get this thing up and running.
Remember, you need to have all this figured out ahead of time or you will be like me running around trying to get them the
parts that they need to finish it up. Jim told me that everything else was now done and I will shoot some pictures of this
tomorrow when I go over there. It should be strapped to the dyno next week and I should have it back for next weekend. I can't
wait to see how this performs as it is looking really good from what I can see right now!!
