Updated mods list with future/planned - hoping to have this thing back on the road mid to late January 2014.

After doing about 1500 miles on the break-in, I parked it in the garage again due to an oil pressure sender pissing all over the top of the engine. I tore it all apart and got a few ideas as to what I'd like to do so I left it parked there. I'm now in the process of parting out my current build to fund some new goods.

Check out my current for sale thread and see if there's anything there you're interested in;

Finally getting around to doing something with this thing. I'ts been on jackstands since sometime in Nov 2013.

I pulled the engine out on March 29, 2014.

I've restructured the build thread. The first post will always have my latest update, the rest will be on my site at b.rideekulo.us.

I will update the link in the first post once I've created the page on my site.

Last minute discussions with Jeremy at Outfront and Bill at Delicious netted a bump up to 10:1 compression and a final decision to definitely go with E85. I should have the engine in within the next week and a half, then once in the car I'll be off for charge pipe fabrication.

Super excited to get this monster running again.
