A big congrats, Mr B! Sorry I haven't been around very much lately, but I just got back in from a hell hitch offshore; had plenty of problems at the end of this well we just drilled. BTW, it's not an XP1600, but and XP1900 that you will be receiving from me. It's an AGNGA 0151-Y stepping. I'll be shipping it out to you very shortly.

Also, a big congratulations to all the other winners in this contest and a darn fine job of running the contest to all of you. Just think of all the extra folding power that will be running for the F@H project now, with all these extra procs being given away to people that are already involved(and addicted ) to this great project and will most probably be folding more WU's for the project and the team.

WTG, everyone!

Sort of.... Back before I got into 'puters, I was into cars. Ever been in one of those hot rod parts shops, where they have an engine sitting on a stand in the corner, all decked out with chrome goodies, etc??

Well, I recall seeing somewhere back then, of a company that made dummy engine blocks out of foam, that you could bolt all the chrome doo-dads onto...looks like a real engine block (very detailed casting), but weighs very little. I've got a mess of Small Block Chevy stuff here...aluminum finned valve covers (OEM) for the early Z/28's and Corvettes, new timing cover, oil pan, etc...

Hollowed out, there ought to be plenty of room in there for everything, including H20. I could probably put the pump in the oil pan before bolting it to the foam block, and route the filler/burp tube out the "distributor hole" in the block... Lift off the intake manifold for access to the board/CPU, cards, etc...

Modify The SBC timing cover to hold a 120mm intake fan, centered over where the camshaft sprocket would be...do something similar on the back of the block, where I'd likely mount the radiator as well (6" x 6", with a 120mm fan), and the PSU.

I've gotta track down the company that made these (if they still do), and go from there... It'd be mighty interesting looking, I think...

*sigh*

Dug out a couple old copies of Super Chevy Magazine from my car days...couldn't find the vendor, nor did a search online....

I'll have to shoot off a e-mail to the Tech guy at Super Chevy...see if he's seen what I'm talking about..

I think it'd be a trip...having a "Small Block Chevy" motor next to the 'puter desk... I think I'd be obligated to go out and get NASCAR 2003 at that point...
