Okay what ideas and plans for your car have you for this year?
Mine is to build a stroked 440. I was always torn between rebuilding the 416 and building a stroked 440 but went with the 416 rebuild as you know, but in my heart it wasn't the direction I wanted to go in, so I am going to follow my hearts desire and go for the 440 plan I wished I had.

I have Plans but they usually don't amount to much - I am 11 months behind on the Altered
Big event for this year is the extension on the Cottage, so I guess cars will take a back seat........

You've surprised me Carl. I thought that small block stroker worked well in the car. Snappy and revvy , and that was in its pre rebuild form !!!
I suppose we all have a " vision" for what we want though ?
Best of luck with it mate. I'll certainly look forward to a comparison ride
As for me. I'm a dreamer , always with great plans ahead that I shall no doubt be chasing. How far I get ?
FATE !!

Get to some shows, get on the road, and try not to make excuses for anything!

Having spent most of 2014 sorting out some farily major problems on the house that our surveyor managed to "miss", my plan is to get the gtx back out on the road properly...

It's your Ram now mate.
Perhaps start a " chaos Ram " thread so we can follow your progress ?
And let my thread slip quietly into the archives.

Get the Valiant back together for the start of the season and drive it as much as possible. Still got a shed load to do but I reckon I'll manage it, back to it on Monday.
