Those are Dove med riser heads.

They only fit a 427 block. A 428 block bore is too small for the big valves.

Word.

I don't need to put it in a better light. You do.

The offer stands... you should take it.

YOU need to appease "the mob". Not me.

I don't need to put it in a better light. You do.

You are not including pertinent information as I was informed. Presuming that my information is accurate.

In fact, if you did reveal it, it would put the "Board" in a much better light which frankly at this point it desperately needs.

Honestly, it's just an evolving situation. You don't call a game after the first quarter. Same thing here.

Are you suggesting that "it ain't over"?

I like NBA basketball and there is some benefit to "letting the boys play" but at some point it crosses over into a "ghetto gansta' brawl" and to me, that is a turn off. Once you loose control of the game, you rarely get it back.

So "ref'ing the game" takes a bit of judgement and as usual, in retrospect, mistakes in that judgement become apparent. But that's just a game. Is this?

Guess Rick's new book on SAAC contains some history that some may find troublesome, including CS legacy keepers.  The intrigue of his "retirement" makes me want to buy one even more.  Does Rick have my email on his mailing list?  LOL

Some of the conspiracy theories are very creative and clever. Can they create a "NY Times Best Seller" ?

As far as the "Moderator" being the secret villain, that could work out as a "third act 'twist'? I like it! Someone needs to be blamed.   


Can locking up this thread be far behind?

I don't think Ricks "retirement " was with out an underlying story. You dont miss your 50th anniversary because you are tired of the marriage  2 months before the celebration .     right shelblydoug

Well, if we are going to worry about exactly what could be going on, for instance, perhaps there is legal action going on and there is a non-disclosure agreement in effect?

That DID happen under the "Shelby Lawsuit" situation which STILL cannot be openly discussed in detail and it is a bit inconsistent now to have a Moderator who leans heavily towards the "First Amendment", maybe considers it entertaining banter and then turns around and reverses that view?

Are we all conflicted here? Isn't everyone? Sure I am but I'm not the issue.

Well Hope is mostly a good thing but should not be the plan but to me this is suggesting that this was a purge and it makes me wonder who in fact should be purged and who should not.

Hey Doug,

I'm very inexperienced on this forum and I don't know enough to place the forum name to your actual name but I have now realized who you are! I remember something you once told me, it was a quote about digging holes, not sure if you remember it but it's something which stuck with me even after all these years. I hope you are doing well.

Ultimately we're all just humans and we do make mistakes sometimes. Two posts were removed, if the consensus is that you'd like them back I believe Ron has the ability to undelete. Removing them was not a unanimous decision and I think I've just flipped my opinion the other way.

Regardless of bringing them back or not, I can promise to you and everyone that all I want is success for our club, and harmony among us all. Not easy, but I strive to achieve it. I'm not sure that all good things must come to an end, but I'll say this, there are many good things which are worth fighting for and I'm in the ring for SAAC all the time.

I'm not convinced that opening this all up to discussion is the best thing but I suspect that when Moderators are censoring public inquiries of other SAAC officials is not a good path to take at all?

As some might agree at least to have witnessed that sometimes the "cover up" is worse then the crime?

Just the fact that posts were removed would suggest that there is some sort of power struggle going on when in fact, maybe there is none?

That is curious in that in other instances the Moderator has permitted what appears to be aggressive and potentially harmful spam under the heading of "let the boys play" and here something significant was asked by a very highly respected SAAC official and it was censored.

It makes me wonder what the intention is and who is the problem here?

If we are quoting the views of the Emeperors of Rome, even they realized that it was the Mob of Rome that they needed the support of?

The "Board" is acting as if it has the protection of the "Praetorian Guard"? I wonder if that is in fact the case? "The Mob's support is fickle my brother".

As you suggest, some things are inevitable, but which inevitability are we dealing with now? Are YOU seeing that correctly? Will the 'Mob' eventually come for you too?

Hey Everyone,

For over 50 years, Rick poured his heart and soul into the Shelby community, nurturing a passion that has brought us all so much joy. His dedication and hard work gave life to this car club that we cherish deeply. This forum is a special place where we can share stories and relive the wonderful moments we've experienced together. Let's honor Rick's incredible legacy by focusing on these cherished memories, rather than on rumors or speculation. While I believe in open dialogue, some posts were removed at the request of members from the SAAC board. My hope is that we can continue to celebrate the good times and the incredible Shelby vehicles that bring us all together.

I think that you are avoiding dealing with the issue. That helps nothing.

There is only one person that can make them all disappear. Inquire there.

Is there something going on here that is being censored by the "Moderator"?

Most likely

Huh. Imagine that?

We need one of those roulette wheel popup things so we can all bet on what the discovered cause will be? It's anyone's bet now?
