Last gift from a friend who just passed. His wife gave this to me tonight for helping her sort through his shop stuff.

I asked about the saw the first time I ever stopped in his shop. He just grinned and said he couldn't sell it. Well I guess now that's going to be my line as well. In the 8+ years I knew him I never got the story why he wouldn't sell it, but I'm at peace with that. Makes for a better mystery.


Rest in peace Nick my friend.

Havent posted too much lately, lifes been busy and saws kinda taken a back seat for now. But heres what im working on. Its a 372 xpg. Cases will get sent for powder eventually. Then ill start building again. Till then i have enough parts in my 372 stash to build another one. This one is gonna be an xtorq on OE cases (cuz i dont have xtorq cases). i think from my reasearch its possible with a lil skirt clearancing. If there is anything else to look out for dont be shy. Lol! The head will get machined anyways and then ill port it myself. The case im holding (xtorq) already got new SKFs and seals. Last pic is spare 372 parts. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Always fun. Going back in get the front two started in the intake manifolds then rock the bank back into the rears, just in case you didn't already know.

Nice! I chucked some pics up in the Dual Bucking Spike thread last night of one of these I did, managed to get a 372 outer dog to line up pretty good too.IMG_20200729_155459.jpg
