I'm using the heads and custom cam / ceramic lifters from the 2.0 for the 2.4. When I get the 2.4 built, I will part out the 2.0.

I thought about parking the bug for this summer but just could not do it

I am now 80% sure I can make it. I just need to hammer out a few details.

I looked at Mapquest and for some reason it rejected Manchester, Ontario ... so I looked at the flyer and punched in Port Perry, Ontario, instead. I also punched in Pickering for Dyno Day and Toronto since my wayward Orioles are playing the Blue Jays Friday night.

Three questions:
(1) Where is a good place to stay? (Please keep suggestions reasonably priced. ) I will likely have my wife and daughter with me.

(2) Deleted: I found I out a passport is needed.

(3) Once I hammer out the last 15-20%, how do I pay? I will bring Canadian currency but I am curious about paying for Dyno Day which is also in Canadian dollars. (It is not clear to me how one signs up for the Show & Swap from the link.)

First edits are in red.

Things are looking up !
Took her around the block a couple times.... looks like I got most of the air out of the cooling system...stil not 100% sure it will cool enough though.

Mounted the battery, ordered some rubber to mount the rear quarter windows back in....

To do to make it driveable: build firewall.....

Fingers crossed !

Rob.

No worries oasis, thanks for the consideration. :agree:

Lanner, count me in too.

OH, you know I am in! Let's see what the difference is between this dyno and the one in Georgia.
Sandeep, I would love to see the numbers your car puts down.

[petevw]

Sandeep needs a 228mm clutch. Who's got one?

oasis:

1.) Do you want to stay in Toronto? Pickering?

2.) Passport is needed.

3.) I'm pretty sure you can pay at the event. To be certain, i could pay it for you now. We'll settle on that weekend.

I don't think it matters too much. They're 33 minutes apart according to Mapquest. My wife and I will probably drive separate cars together so I doubt logistics will be a problem when we go our separate ways.

Yup. My wife told me she had just gotten under the wire the last time she visited Canada. Getting that ball rolling is this weekend's plan.

If I can pay for the Dyno Day and/or the show with a credit card, the currency will convert automatically. Otherwise, I may take you up on your offer. Thanks!

The Dyno Show would like to insure we have 10 cars in order to keep our reservation for the day. So, please support the cause and get your dollars to me pronto! Hey, I'll put the 1500cc single port in the bus on the rollers, so don't be shy!

Lanner,

I am confirmed. If I don't meet you tomorrow, I'll get you the funds on the weekend.

I am very sorry on many different levels I won't be able to attend this year after all. Without going into details, other family obligations have come to the fore and must be addressed. I hope the event will be a success and will be run again in the future. I would love to be a part of it.

I also hope my apologies are accepted -- unlike at another site.
