Engine update

Talked to Jim yesterday.  The engine is just about done.  He needed the go ahead to have Brian weld the intake stacks.  I had riveted them, but it's much better to eliminate the rivets with a weld.  The engine should be on the dyno later this week. 
The 8 stacks on top of the carburetors had to be shortened so they would fit under the air box.  After cutting them I used a riveted to hold them together.  If one of the rivets broke, it would be pulled into the engine.  Much better welded.
