I made it to AZ with a new engine. Had to come across country the most Southern route, to avoid bad weather. Normally, I don't mind any weather, but I was towing a trailer this trip. Lost a day of travel time when I had a major brake failure on my S-10 PU. I took me about two extra days as the coastal/Southern route is much longer. Seven, 10+ hour days. Coming across Texas on 10, I had such a headwind, I could barely keep it over 50 MPH without the trans kicking down into second gear. 8 MPG's that day.

Anyway, I made it and got the new engine installed by noon last Saturday.
Now I'm tweaking it for the trip to Pomona for the GNRS this weekend.
