    I actually visited Ed Pink's today to do some power runs on their chassis dyno. They will likely relocate to Santa Clarita or nearby in the valley. They have mixed feelings on the situation - saying goodbye to the history is hard, but they are also looking forward to a clean slate where they can layout a modern and more efficient shop. I have to say that if you are in SoCal - you need to check this place out before they move. So much history in there. Cool to see 917 motors, Singer motors, Emory motors and much more. Here are just a few pics I took at the shop:

    thanks, Chuck!!

    I had to add a couple more photos. I thought the first photo was cool as you can see a Porsche case next to a Ferrari block.

    Fwiw, I'm rebuilding the 917 transmission for that 917 engine pictured in Ed Pink's shop.

    As received...
