Where you can be railroaded by the same train five times going from one end of town to the other.


In Blue Island.

lived there. we called it the trap zone. you could get caught by a possible 4 trains 2 if you wanted to make a right 2 if you wanted to make a left out of the trailer park.

it was very common for these trains to stop. and stayed stopped. there were many times that we would be trapped in our neighborhood for hours at a time.

I Got spoiled and stayed in Vanderburgh. When did you go to VU?

01-04. Was in Morris at first few weeks and then Godare for the rest. This was pre remodeled Morris. I loved that in Godare I could have my air on in winter no matter if they have the a/c on or not. My room mate and I liked it very cold. He set the thermostat to 55° (as low as it could go) at night. Slept with three blankets on my bed but it was an awesome sleep. I did love the sand volleyball courts on campus.

I did some work for an elderly couple that lived over there. They knew they could be SOL if they needed 911 and there were trains parked.
 
My new principal returned an email I sent him containing a bunch of questions I had. Heres what I've found out:

1) The budget for the Automotive Program alone is over twice as much as my current Departments ENTIRE budget. ($5500 compared to ~$1500)
2)The principal has agreed to purchase a second 2-post lift (Giving me a total of two 2-posts and one 4-post).
3) I get to bring the Jeep(s) over as soon as school is out.
4) The principal [district] is willing to help out in getting us moved over there.

Now here's the best part:

"Now, I have a project for you.
Start researching how to soup up a diesel bus engine. That's right, I want us to have the fastest bus next year. The winner this year, set his up like a pulling tractor. I want lots of speed, power and black smoke (and a blue ribbon)! You can also add propane to it. We'll talk more later."

It's a good head head, for now
Can you find the date on yours? Should be between the rockers on cyl 3.
Im assuming if the company knew what they were doing they wouldnt send 99-01 heads back out.

Flexy you probably know this better than anyone else... say I have an inline 6 engine that's approximately 34" long, 36" tall (possibly a bit off, I need to check the oil pan shape and front diff clearance) and 24" of space available between the frame rails.

What Cummins motor can I fit in that space that makes at least 220hp and preferably around 500 foot pounds or more? SAE1 or 2 bellhousing.
