The Girl Who Dies With The Most Paper Wins
Happy New Year everyone! Are you loving 2009 yet? Well, I am. I had this total rush of energy yesterday. Maybe it was my new diet challenge with Lindsay (see entry below). Maybe it was getting the high score on Dance Dance Revolution. Maybe it was just having a fresh, new year with no mistakes in it.
Whatever it was, I went into my office. Looked at all my piles of creativity sitting around and got inspired to clean things out. If you're like me, you know that managing all your paper and scrapbooking supplies can be a tricky thing. Now imagine that each time you need a sheet of paper, your helpful business partner brings you three or four kits of paper from that line....... so that he won't have to run paper to your house as often. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it really starts to add up.
But, lucky for you because I have lots of paper that I don't need. Some of it is cut, some packages are opened and no longer complete. Some are just like they'd be off the store shelf. The thing is, CHA is right around the corner and I'll have lots more packages of paper delivered to my house. And, although I love lines like Gretel, Dutch Girl and Hello Sunshine, I have to move to the new lines and the older ones, will be lonely, just sitting on the shelf.
So, I've put together four sets of leftovers. There are complete paper crafting kits from Dutch Girl and Halfway Cafe. There is leftover Blackboard, Buck Naked Chipboard, Ready Set Chipboard, Die-cuts, stickers, paper pads and loads and loads of paper and scraps. There has to be over $100 of product, maybe even $200, in each set. All you have to do is tell us your plans for the new year whether it's a resolution or goal or just something good you hope will happen. We'll enter all names into a drawing. The lucky winner will be announced on Tuesday morning when Larry the Temp will have his debut....... I wonder what he knows about our new releases?
****UPDATE**** There seems to be some confusion. The picture above will be one person's prize. I have three other sets similar in product and amount that will be the other three people's prizes. Yes, I do have A LOT of stuff. I think it's safe to say that I might be the girl with the most paper.

WOW! WOW! WOW! My goal is to at least try to learn how to knit and to see if it is something that I enjoy doing. It is such an amazingly useful craft and I really would like to give it a shot!
- Brooke S. Rochon said...
Alright Julie! Well, for me, I plan to see the sunny side of things this year. No more Debbie Downer. My reason: the birth of my beautiful baby boy Cohen on 12.26.08 and of course my 4.5 year old Stella. For them I must see all the positives that life has to offer. So, if you pick me, I will use my kit lovingly to assemble beautiful books for my kids.
- Somertime said...
My new year's resolution is to live and scrap with more meaning. Add more of me to my layouts. I also have my supplies and am ready to begin a scrapbook about me.
My scrap buddies know how crazy I am about your products. Thanks for the opportunity to win some.
Happy New Year to you all! - 12:16 PM

My goal is for freedom- Freedom from financial debt, freedom from eating instead of feeling and dealing, freedom from how I think I look and act and freedom to be who I really am. Those are my goals.
- young said...
Wow, that's a lot of paper!!! =) My New Year's resolution is to...gain weight! I'm having a baby in July and just starting to pack on the pounds. Now that's a goal I can definitely achieve. ;)
- Colleen said...
I hate to see scrapbooking stuff left behind and lonely. I will gladly take it off your hands.
For the new year, my goals are to eat healthier (I am going to try and eat 5 vegetables/fruits a day) walk at least 5000 steps every day and spend at least 15 minutes a day picking up stuff around the house. Scrapping wise, I want to get caught up with my oldest daughter's album. - 12:25 PM
- mudmaven said...
WOW - that's a lotta paper! I could give it a new home, easy! This year I am going to try to get published and get healthy. If I succeed at either, I will be one happy camper. I've given up on resolving to get organized - not gonna happen! I live in comfortable chaos. ~chris
- Alaina said...
I don't usually make resolutions which means I don't break them. But this year my promise to myself is to use up as much of my scrapbooking supplies as I can so I can keep buying more. It's all part of moving my scrap room downstairs so my little one can have my current room for her play room. So instead of moving stuff I will try to use it. Already started my resolution on NYE.
- Carolyn said...
My goal is to get more organized.........I've been trying and it's coming together, but needs more work.........half the fun of sbing is keeping things organized so it's easy to find what you want when you want it..........
- Jenny L. said...
I just wanted to say that I LOVE your product. I got some for Christmas and had to come over here and check you out. Can't wait for the new release.

Oh....what a wonderful collection of fun! I would love to win it!
My goals for the new year are to eat healthier and sleep more. I am carrying around yesterday's list to remind me as a start what things to avoid. And I have decided a set bedtime with some nights up late planned in so I don't get pulled back into late nights all the time again.
Thanks for the giveaway! - 12:37 PM
- kim_sonksen said...
My Plan for 2009 is definitely to be the one with the most paper. So no need for you to divide that lot into four equal Kits - just send them all to me....bwahhahahahaha
But seriously - this year I am going to USE mu stuff before I buy more. I have already started doing that and set myself my own challenge to "Shop from Your Stash". I go through all the stuff I have and make up a Kit. Once I put that together I have to scrap at least 2 - 3 layouts and 1- 2 cards from it before I cam put together another Kit....I am now on my second Kit and i love seeing stash come to the surface that I never knew I still had! - 12:38 PM
- sandycpa said...
Julie, First of all, I'm addicted to your beautiful products! My scrapbooks are filled with your gorgeous papers...I can't resist them! Thanks for the opportunity to win free products!
My goals for the new year include continuing to scrapbook our memories, but more importantly, to prioritize making those priceless memories with my family. I work full-time, and sometimes it is hard to fit everything in, but I keep reminding myself that I won't look back and wish my house was cleaner during these fleeting years.
Thanks again! - 12:40 PM
- Erin said...
Awesome blog candy...
My goal is to scrap more. At least once a week. I WILL FIND THE TIME.LOL - 12:46 PM
- Carrie said...
Julie, what an awesome stash that is!!! My goals for 2009 are to try and take a picture every day, and to try and learn to create awesome titles and shapes with the Silhouette I got for Christmas!
Hopefully it will be easier to keep the goals when they are fun ones :) - 12:46 PM
- Mara G said...
Lets see my Neew Year Resolution for 2009 is to clear away all of the clutter in my house. And to go through all of the boxes that I have in my garage and organize it better. - 12:49 PM
- Michelle said...
My resolution goals for this year is to learn how to live again, not to just exist..I have been a young widow for 15mths, and I want to learn how to live again..

These passed months I haven't taken care of it, time for my to put this rear end in gear..Thank you so much this awesome give-away of paper & goodies..
~Michelle - 12:49 PM
- bonnie said...
My resolution for this year is to be less critical of my art and make more of it.
Also to be kinder and more patient. - 12:52 PM
- Sis. Stokes said...
My biggest goal this year is to prepare for the arrival of my twins (due in May) and get as much crafting done before they get here so that I don't feel so guilty neglecting such things while babies need mommy full-time. Lots of homework on bottles, diapers, pumps etc. will also fill my new year, at least the first half of it. And I thought I was done studying when I finished college. :-p
- ScrapAloha said...
My goal for this year is to find structure, whether it is, like writing a schedule or lists or whatever, I need to do it to move forward to my goals. I have been anti structure for a long time, but it's not getting me anywhere LOL, so I have to find the balance between the two.
Oh, and also I am not going to "time travel" anymore. I am going to consciously live in the moment. Now working toward goals while staying in the moment...a monumental task for me...LOL - 12:57 PM
- Lauri {Scrap Attack} said...
Now that's some loot! :) This year I would like to take better care of "me." I think if I can do that, I will be happier and can take better care of the people in my life. And I'd like to exercise more (but I always say that!) LOL!
- carabecca said...
Exercise more. I want to be fit!
- Jenn said...
I hope to be kinder, more thoughtful (and to find the right balance so that I don't become a doormat!). I also have a goal to become a more consistent blogger! Happy New Year to the Cosmo Cricket crew!
- Tona said...
Well since we had record snow fall towards the end of the year which caused a lot of damage to personal property the something good that I'm hoping for is that dealing with 2 insurance companies will be as painless as possible and that we will see the light at the end of the tunnel sooner then later. When that mess is all taken care of my goal is to exercise more on a regular basis and hopefully lose some weight at the same time.
- Susan Hackney said...
I have several goals for 2009. The first is to stamp more. At least make it into my stamp room 3 times a week.
Second is to save more. To really think before I spend and to look for deals.
Third is to become debt free and to stay that way. - 1:08 PM
- Melinda AKA medialady said...
Thanks for this great giveaway!
My number 1 resolution this year is to control my anger better by being a happier person. I, like most women, have many hats to wear on a daily basis and the stress can bring you down. So . . . I want to be a happier person this year. I need to "roll with the flow and stop being the dam that blocks the flow". If I do this, I will get much more accomplished (which makes me a happier person)! - 1:11 PM
- Rach said...
Yep, I have a few goals for 2009! Like the rest of us.
Make more stuff. Its up in my heqad, I just need to get it on the paper.
Be organised.

Make my other half give up smoking.
Thats enough, it will take me all year to do those!
Can't wait to see the newbies,,, - 1:16 PM

- Margie said...
My goals are a lil simpler this year - live happier and healthier!
Also, I started Project 365 yesterday - a pic and small journal entry a day for everyday of the year! I am determined to document my family and my own life in a more creative way :)
Happy New Year! - 1:19 PM

- random me said...
My goals and plan for 2009 include eating healthier, playing outside with my kids more, and taking a photo or 2 or 3 a day to create a "year in our life album".

All that product that I have been keeping for a rainy day....I'm hoping for record rainfall this year...
- Stampmouse said...

My new years resolution is to start albums for my 3 grandkids *5, 2, and 7 mths* I have their pictures from the hospital and then stop. I am organizing ALL the pics I have of them (and there are hundreds). I am going to make them up to date by then end of the year. THAT is what I will be doing this year and I need all the paper I can get my hands on. Might even get rid of my stash.
- Bobbi-Lynn said...
What an awesome contest! Well my goals for this year are to work on appreciating those 'little moments' more, and I plan to do that by scrapping one album per month, and making sure to include all those little moments that make up daily living.

In 2009 my husband and I WILL purchase our first home. Do or die. We have three happy, rambunctious children who need the space! And I'm tired of moving, as I'm sure they are.

- lizzie said...
wow oh wow that is some awesome prize!!!
my goals for 2009 are actually pretty simple. i want to be a better me... i want to read more, be a better mother, wifie, daughter to my faimly... i want to not be so angry and find healthy ways to express my feelings. i've been inspired by a fellow scrapper to scrap my issues and to not be ashamed of them... so hopefully with doing this, i'll be all that i can be! with the army of course hahahahahahahaaaa - 4:27 PM
- Bittersweet Memories said...
WOW! Everyone has such great goals. My main goal is to take one day at a time - one step at a time - to hopefully add up to brand new habits in 2009.
- I've started by getting back into couponing and can't believe all the deals out there that I was paying full price on! My goal for '09 is to keep saving while shopping which means I'll keep more of the money I worked hard for.
- Organize once and for all! My intentions have always been good - I just need to implement, implement, implement.
- Better time management. Hopefully through organizing (above) and making an effort to schedule my day I can find more time for completing tasks and adding time to try new things - even if only one thing - in 2009!
- Work out. I joined a fitness club. That was step one. The next step is attend regularly. Baby steps...
- Lastly, hopefully through implementation of the above I can continue to grow and make me a better person! - 4:38 PM
- Melinda said...
You are appealing to my baser nature...I am a self-confessed paper addict. My goal is to organize my craft room and rid my self of things I no longer use or duplicates....and taking these things to a local retirement center.

OH MY, how lucky you are to be the girl with all the paper. My family was laughing at Christmas time, because my 7th month old only wanted to play with the paper and ribbons her presents were wrapped in but mommy got 3 sets of Cosmo Cricket PAPER for Christmas that she just wants to play with too! lol
I just posted on my blog my goals for the year, but they are pretty simple, some form of exercise and some form of crafting EVERYDAY!
Good luck on your food diet, those are some tough items to give up! - 5:56 PM
- jennmom2000 said...
I would love some of your stash! My plans for the new year include going to CHA! Maybe I will meet you there.

- Tricia said...
What lovely paper! :) One of my goals is inspired by your diet challenge. I don't need to lose weight, but I do need to be careful what I eat, so every Friday I'm going no coffee, no sugar and no white flour. Thanks for the inspiration!

My goal this year is to focus on the details of what is special in our life. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in life and let the little things pass by without really noticing. This year, I want to stop and enjoy those little moments every chance I get.
- angie a said...
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy!
My goal for this year is to become "Financially Fit", no more debt equals less stress, Right???

My goal is to organize my craft room, so I can use all my stamps (not just the ones within eyesight) :-)
- kimandasmom said...
I chose not to make resolutions this year-- but that does not mean I do not have goals-- I hope to create many happy memories with my family and capture the spirit of happiness along the way... I also hope to organize all my scrappy stuff and scrap all the moments I want to remember, along with some of those I don't!!!
- awendybird said...
My husband and I started an exercise program yesterday so our goal is to finally get into shape and trim down. I don't care so much about losing weight as I do losing inches!! So that is my goal, to drop at least 3 sizes!
- shawnna said...
My plan this year is to cut out some of my extra activities/obligations so I can have more time to do things I love ... like scrapbooking and spending more time with my family. I would love love love to win! :)
- lfalduto said...
Although it isn't necessary to include me in the drawing...I did want to share my New Year's resolution.
This year I resolve
To get more involved
In playing more jokes
on even more folks.
In particular a man
for whom I'm a fan
Lindsay's his name,
and jokes are my game!
There you have it.... - 6:33 PM
- lovingmytwoboys said...
My resolution for 2009 is to Heal! 08 was a tough year for me and my boys so I am taking this year to heal from all the hurt that has happened this year. And I think Scrapping will help me do that or at least take my mind off of it!
- Just a Thought... said...
I would like to have more patience with my kids and play with them more!!
- jennifer said...
My goal for 2009 is to use what I have and get rid of what I don't. But a girl can never have too much Cosmo Cricket paper!
- jo-ann said...
i really have a need to be more organized and just have discipline to put things away when i'm done with them! but....it's so hard when you have such neat stuff to play with!
- Tanya C said...
I need to do some serious purging this year. Not just packing it up and storing it but actually getting it out of my house - clothes and toys my girls have outgrown are definitely my starting points.
- Lisa said...
My goals (not resolutions) are to learn to sew,eat better,exercise more and try to work less! I would like to have a craft house...shed...building? Maybe talk DH into building one after he finishes all the other stuff I've asked him to do.
I also hope to have some actual readers to my blog! LOL...Thanks for the chance! :)Lisa - 7:06 PM
- jennifer said...
Wow, thanks for the chance to win this fabulous prize!
One of my biggest personal crafting goals is to really get going on my one year old's pages. My daughter had more than one album by age 1, but not this poor little guy! Professionally, I'd love to try to get published/on a DT this year. We'll see, all you can do is try ;)
Happy New Year!! - 7:08 PM
- Cyndy said...
I would like to say it is to cut out sweets and spend less money but I have already blown that. My goal this year is to make a scrapbook about me. What I like, don't like, believe, etc. Maybe someday someone will want to know something about me and it will be there for them. I wish I had something like that about my grandma and my mom.
- mbs and j said...
Well I know it is cliche and a goal everyone seems to have at the new year...but I really really need to exercise and eat healthy, to lose some weight. I think if I work on scrapbooking more, maybe I will eat less!
Beth Ann - 7:32 PM
- mica said...
I want to focus more on ME. I want to create more layouts. I want to eat healthy, get enough sleep, do some walking, and take better care of myself.
- kindredmamma and Daddy said...
My New Year's resolution is to finish what I started. I have so many unfinished projects its shameful. Though I doubt it will keep me from starting any new projects...but to at least finish some would be great!
- Megan A. said...
My goal is to lose weight. Blah nothing new or revolutionary there, but I hope to be different by actually making it happen! I am trying! I am already on day 5 and going strong!

- Jocelyne said...
My goals for the year are to look at things with a different perspective. Learn to deal with things as they come. Eat healthier, be happier, more active and hopefully in the process lose some weight. I also plan on trying to be more creative.

I have several goals for the new year....I need to be more organized, be more balanced and create more! I'd love to win this RAK to help me create! Love Cosmo Cricket!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
- Dayna said...
My goal, like many others, I'm sure is to get in shape. The school where I teach has a school wide jog for the first two weeks of March and I hope to be able to keep up with my students. I also would like to have at least one of my LOs published.
- Rona said...
I don't really do "resolutions" especially not that crazy diet thing I mean seriously who could ever be creative without chocolate!! I do plan to live healthier - exersise more - smaller portions - less fast food and lots more scrapping with my extra energy I always have when I am doing better!
- bethieyiya said...
As I finish up my 30's I really need to write a will.

etc. - 8:41 PM
- Viv (VivLyn) said...
My goal for 2009 is to use or get rid of my craft things, so I can make room for new! It will help with organization too!
- Margie H said...
My goal is what you accomplished...getting my scrap area in somewhat decent shape! LOL!!
We had gallons of water poured on us last week...so much snow & water that I had seepage right by my scrap area!! Well, I think it was God's way to tell me I need to CLEAN IT UP! LOL!!

- AngelBear said...
Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize!
I'm not making any resolutions for the new year because I never keep them...instead I have decided to 'alter' my lifestyle a bit. I love my family, they are my world and I want to be a better mom & wife. So thats what 2009 holds for me, a better me - 9:06 PM
- Leanne said...
My plan for this New Year is simple...I am going to live this year like there will be no others...I want to live everyday like it is my last! I want to enjoy every second...not just for myself but for my two kiddos...we have had a great time so far...just now we are getting popcorn ready and going to watch Horton hears a who. Normally I would not be up this late , definately not eatting this late or watching a cartoon. I hope my kiddos remember this night, years from now when they are reminising about their childhoods. And I hope it brings a smile to their faces!!! My hope is to make this the best year ever!!! Hope you all have one too!!!! I know we will!!!
- Caterpillar Creations said...

a happy and HEALTHY new year with lots of time to craft!
- mustangkayla said...
My goal is to deliver a happy and healthy baby (due in March) and survive the first couple months on little sleep. I also hope to keep up on her baby book doing at least monthly layouts and the typical baby book pages.
- MandeeM said...
I have a few goals this year. I am currently working on my craft room/office. I want it to be functional and inspiring. It needs to be organize. I then also want to get the last bit of my baby weight off. He is 20 months old now, so I am not sure how much is "baby" weight. But overall I want to learn to say enough. . . to too much, to excuses, to bad thoughts, to insecurities, to negativity, to stress, to the need to fulfill everyone's wants and ignore myself. Enough to anything that brings negative thoughts and ideas into my life.
- Tina C said...
I am all for organization this year - every aspect of my life. I would love to relieve you of your mass accumulation of STUFF...Keeping my fingers crossed.
Hugs - 10:24 PM
- JJ and Stephanie said...
I want to actually make time for myself this year. So my plan is to have more time to scrap and have a place to escape and get my thoughts out. This is only one of the many resolutions I have.....
- monsterinlaw said...
Since I'm pretty caught up on current pix, my goal is to get some of my old pix done and not to spend too much money. Donations would be appreciated, lol!
- monsterinlaw said...
My goal is to live more simply this year
- carmen5522 said...
My goal this year is to spend less money and get out of debt.

-focusing on my health.
-finding a job in social work to use the degree i just graduated with!!!! - 10:36 PM
- Heidi said...
Well, my 2009 scrapping resolution is to use MORE of the old stuff I have accumulated (read: hoarded). I fell in love with the stuff once upon a time, now I need to use it!
On a personal side I need to start eating better and moving more. Hopefully by this time next year I will feel better and look great.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win some goodies, LOVE your stuff! Keeping my fingers crossed. - 10:45 PM
- Nancy ~ Inkcicles said...
This whole year, as short as it may be right now, is all about change for me. We are in the midst of moving from the arctic to Oregon and nothing is the same...my goal is get settled into our new life in the Lower 48 and to try to be more of a blessing to others.
Happiest New Year Smiles,
~nance - 10:46 PM
- kfrankly said...
My goal this year is to share my scrapbooking creativity and supplies! I am creating a Christmas album right now for my Mom and I have plans to make an album for my dear college friend that I will get to see in April (who I have not seen in 5 years!)
Other goals are to be happy even if things aren't going exactly the way I hoped and to lose the holiday pounds I put on. - 10:55 PM
- Barbara said...
I, too, have been organizing and purging like a mad woman today!! My goal this year is to get organized and stay that way!!
I'd also like to put more of me into my layouts and projects this upcoming year. Not allow scraping to become a chore, but enjoy the process more. =)
And did I mention, a girl can never have to much Cosmo!! - 11:00 PM
- julie.schellin said...
oh. my. word. I have to win. :)
My NY resolution has to do with my one word: JOY. Choosing joy as a response more often, giving joy to others, seeing joy in life.
- Erin Glee said...
You win, Julie! If that's 1/4th of what you are giving away, what must you be KEEPING?
My resolution is to create a space that I can create in~it looks like part of the Family room will be mine to set up for Mama Crop Central! YES! - 11:26 PM

I read this in a friends Blog and it has inspired me to apply these words to my life this year...I am usually not so sappy but I want to be a better person...Thanks for letting me share...
"What Will Matter" by Michael Josephson
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.
So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought but what you built,
not what you got but what you gave.
What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters. - 11:50 PM
- Marisa said...
Oh what a fab stash of goodies....would love to win some of this...

- China Doll said...
My resolution is to graduate with my masters... debt-free!
- Tania said...
My goal this year is to live healthier and create consistently, while challenging myself to try new things.
- Linda said...
WOW! One person's leftovers is another person's meal! In 2009, I plan to put my "leftovers" away as soon I'm done scrapping so that I can find them the next time.
- Leisha said...
Those goodies look fun! I have a few things I want to do this year but one that is going to be the hardest is learning to play the guitar. I've played the piano for year so I am hoping that will help.
Leisha, UT - 1:18 AM
- Bibi said...
I have several goals this year. One is to scrap about my year each day in an A5 journal style book. I'm turning 30, so I thought it would be fun to write something each day...thoughts, what I did that day, whatever...just a snapshot so that in years to come, I can look back and see what life was like in 2009! I've never successfully kept a diary before, so hopefully I'll keep this one going!
- Ila said...
My plans are to lose weight, get healthy and use all my uninked stamps this year.....This is Fabulous candy....Happy New Year!!
- maxandmimasmummy said...
Every time I make a resolution I always break it. So this year I'm setting goals instead. My major goal this year is to find the time to be creative just for me. Not for a design team or a class project but just because I want to use fabulous products...like Cosmo!
- dreamieland said...
i just hope that my love ones and i will life to the fullest =) Be forgiving and just love!! =)

Concerning the castings and the precious metal contents...very interesting I was not aware of that. Probably not something I'll be able to ask for in a short block.
.. It dawned on me the proper engine for your Regal: a Buick 401" nailhead... plenty of power and no mistaking it for anything but a Buick engine... unlike the later Buick V8's which could easily be mistaken for an Olds, Pontiac, Chrysler... maybe even a Chevy... and, 401's came stock with an 'airgap' intake manifold...
Beautiful, just beautiful.....
Oh wow a nailhead! Definitely no mistaking but I'm sure finding one wouldn't be easy. I like all GM V8s
Ok so they're easy to find let me use another excuse...I'm not familiar with them and parts my be difficult to find.
Would anybody feel like running a dyno sim or desktop dyno on this (these) combo?
383 9.5:1 with 64cc heads (ZZ383 short block) 1 5/8 long tube headers RPM Air Gap, 750 CFM carb, no spacer E-Tec 170cc 60975 heads (64cc comb chamber) With the following cams: Howard's: (retro-fit cams but I'd ask for '86 up) 113215-08 217/225 .495 .500 108 LSA 110885-10 225/225 .525 .525 110 LSA Lunati Voodoo (also retro-fit) 20120710 211/219 .507 .515 112 LSA 20120711 219/227 .515 .530 112 LSA I'd like these on a 110 LSA but I don't know if you can just plug that in? I'd like to use only 1.5 ratio rockers |
Well..yes. I know a 383 will give me what I'm looking for, probably even a 350. Was originally looking for max torque from a 383 but you know of course the more cubes the better. If I only had one project car I'd invest more into a single build but I have to spread the spending. Not that a 400 can't be done for the same $ as a 383, I just don't know anything about steam holes and cam buttons.
let us all know what you finally decide.If you build a 400,get a good block,dont mess with steam holes.Like the 400/427 I told you about with new parts.I used a dart block for my engine for a few reasons,power/reliability/strength,all with room for a few rebuilds
.. Most important part for a 401... LOL!:
Offenhauser 360 Degree Dual Quad High-Rise Intake Manifolds 5692 - SummitRacing.com .. All other 401 parts readily available... ____________________________________________ .. SBC 400 cheaper to build than a 383... don't even need to change the crank... 400 is a 383 with .095" overbore already done.. 406 is 383 with .125" overbore... _____________________________________________ .. Buick 401/425 and SBC 400 include big torque at no extra cost... .. SBC 400 steam holes no big deal, lay gasket on new heads (if used) and drill 1/8" hole where gasket indicates... only need to drill the 3 lower holes in each head, any steam or air bubbles where the upper holes would be just floats up and out the water jacket hole above it... as long as you don't drive the vehicle upside down... cam buttons for roller cams are the same (simple) problem for any size Gen. 1 SBC that didn't come stock with roller cam/provisions (pre-1986)... |
For a simple drop in I'd like to get the motivation to start up the Olds 455 I have on the stand. I have the money but not the time and patience. But at the same time I'd like to assemble some parts myself.
Buzzlol: I know the use of a cam button fit a roller retro fit is required on all pre 86 Gen I blocks. Is that a set it and forget it type deal? Or will the end play change over time? |
.. Cam buttons usually a permanent oil-lubed setup... your choice of nylon, aluminum, or ball-bearing button...
.. Your 4 383 combos look like 375 - 425 HP and 430 - 450 lb.-ft. depending on cam size... |

CARSON CITY — Senate Majority Leader Mo Denis wants to pass bills next month to provide adequate funding for education and state government.
He's not interested in supporting a Senate Republican plan for an alternative mining tax in lieu of a business tax that voters would consider in the 2014 election.
"We need to put something in place now as a Legislature," the Las Vegas Democrat said. "It would be better than palming it off on voters."
While there are differing legal opinions on whether the Legislature could put an alternative tax question before voters, Denis believes it makes more sense to pass bills before the Legislature adjourns in June that adequately fund government. He has stressed that students and parents cannot wait another two years before there is money available to pay for lower class sizes and full-day kindergarten.
But six Senate Republicans led by Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Las Vegas, still are talking about placing before voters next year a question that calls for much higher mining taxes beginning in 2015 and earmarking the money for public education. Voters then would decide between this tax increase and a 2 percent business margins tax sought by the Nevada State Education Association, which represents teachers.
This dispute might become the overriding issue in May when the Legislature must decide whether to increase taxes this year. By then, legislators will have approved most state agency budgets and Democrats will know much more about the amount of money they believe is needed.
Roberson, Republicans and Gov. Brian Sandoval oppose any new taxes this year and have the votes to block tax increases sought by Democrats.
Conversely, Democrats, Sandoval and many Republicans oppose the Senate Republican move to put a tax question on the ballot next year and wait until the 2015 session before spending more on public education.
Roberson figures the Democrats will come around to his thinking when they realize they cannot pass tax increases this session.
If no mining tax question is placed before voters, then the only question voters will decide is whether to implement the teachers petition to impose a 2 percent business margins tax — a plan that a line of businesses damned during a hearing last month.
This petition could win voter approval, according to a Retail Association of Nevada poll. Its chances might improve without an alternative question calling for higher mining taxes in 2015.
But if the alternative question also is on the ballot, then voters would decide between mining and business taxes. The one that draws the most votes, as long as it was more than half, would become law.
Denis believes that if legislators adequately fund education this session, then voters would have no reason to approve the business margins tax question. Democrats have not yet announced what taxes they would increase if that becomes necessary in May when revenue estimates are finalized and budgets have been completed.
But the Senate Republicans' chances grew even dimmer a few weeks ago when Sandoval received a secretary of state legal opinion that they cannot put an alternative tax measure before voters. Yet in a March 17 opinion, the legislative counsel — their legal adviser — ruled they can.
Before a court can decide which opinion is correct, the Senate Republicans must pass their alternative ballot question — a question that has not yet surfaced in the form of a bill.
Roberson said recently that he is "working on" getting support from other legislators for the alternative tax proposal. He complained about Review-Journal reports that they might try to raise as much as $600 million to $800 million a year through higher mining taxes.
Instead Roberson said they have not decided how much to tax.
But Denis has not seen anything from Roberson. Neither has Senate Revenue Committee Chairman Ruben Kihuen, D-Las Vegas, Assembly Taxation Chairwoman Irene Bustamante Adams, D-Las Vegas, or Republican Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey, R-Reno. All would be key players in placing an alternative question before voters.
"We don't even know what he is supposedly going to be coming up with," Hickey said.
"It is my position and the majority of my caucus that we are not focused this session on a ballot question for 2014. I don't like budgeting by ballot initiatives."
Kihuen and Bustamante Adams both said they would like to see something in writing. But they also are committed to enhancing spending on education during the current session.
Democrats have outlined about $500 million in additional spending they believe state government needs, including $310 million in educational spending beyond what Sandoval included in his budget.
Their unexpected ally in opposition to budgeting by ballot question is Sandoval. He sought and released an opinion from the secretary of state's office that the Legislature cannot put an alternative tax proposal before voters. Scott Gilles, the deputy secretary of state for elections, ruled legislators could not draw up a tax alternative because they did not "reject" the Nevada State Education Association's business tax petition.
Because the Legislature took no action on that petition by a March 15 deadline, Gilles said the state constitution stipulates an alternative tax question cannot be placed before voters. Also through their inaction, the business tax plan automatically went on the November 2014 ballot.
But the Legislative Counsel Bureau issued an opinion March 17 sought by Roberson that said legislators did not have to vote to reject the tax plan before they could propose an alternative tax for voters.
Chief Litigation Counsel Kevin Powers found that the meaning of the word "reject" includes the refusal to "hear, accept, consider, acquiesce in or otherwise adopt the statutory initiative ..." By their inaction, therefore, they were rejecting the union's tax plan, he concluded.
Before any decision is made on whether Senate Republicans can put forward a tax alternative, they first must pass their alternative tax proposal through the Legislature. Then the secretary of state, or another party with legal standing, could challenge the question in court, according to Rick Combs, director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau.
Ultimately the state Supreme Court could determine if the alternative question would remain on the ballot, he added.
To this point, the Legislature has been largely free of partisanship. That could end in May.

There are some really great wines in the £10-£30 price category. Seize the 2009 red Bordeaux and 2010 northern Rhônes I have already recommended, generally for future drinking, and take advantage while other luscious 2009 reds are still available. Note that European examples can be cheaper than New World ones. Check winesearcher.com for more stockists of the wines below, all of which could already be enjoyed, even if most will keep.
White wines
Howard's Folly Alvarinho 2010 Vinho Verde
The famous Albariño of Rias Baixas made in northern Portugal by Australian David Baverstock for a Hong Kong businessman. Complicated enough for you? Attractively clean and fresh – with so much more ripe fruit than the Vinho Verde of old. Good stuff! 13%, £10.95, The Wine Society
Frédéric Mabileau, Les Rouillères Chenin Blanc 2011 Anjou
Lovely pure, fresh, appley aromas. Lots of tension and mid-Loire terroir. Finishes dry. This sparkling-fresh wine just has so much energy. 13%, £10.95, The Wine Society
Hatzidakis Assyrtiko 2011 Santorini
The signature grape of the volcanic Greek island of Santorini vinified with brio. Utterly captivating and reviving. Not heavy. Great value. 14.5%, £10.99, 37 Waitrose stores and www.waitrosewine.com
Horst Sauer, Escherndorfer Lump Riesling Kabinett trocken 2009 Franken
In that funny squat Mateus-like flask from southern Germany. Explosive fruit that ends dry and mineral. Real structure to this wine. Well sculpted. Super-clean and bracing, with a hint of grapefruit. 12%, £12.28, Justerini & Brooks
Pewsey Vale Riesling 2010 Eden Valley
This consistent South Australian beauty tastes as though it's made from really old, comfortable vines. Light toastiness with lime marmalade. Delicate, lifted, sophisticated palate. Dry finish; really appetising. But wonderfully persistent. Lots of fruit but not lots of sweetness. 12.5%, £12.49, Noel Young
Dom Chavy-Chouet, Les Femelottes 2010 Bourgogne
Very cool and refreshing on the nose. Not concentrated but very nicely balanced and with real Côte d'Or white burgundy build. Raciness and a dry finish. Delicate and appetising. 12%, £13.95, Roberson
Marcel Deiss, Pinot d'Alsace 2010 Alsace
Reverberant gingerbread on the nose – really interesting, racy stuff from this master of terroir. Not an ounce of flab. 13%, £13.95, Roberson, also Lea & Sandeman
Rieflé, Côte de Rouffach Gewurztraminer 2009 Alsace
Very exotic, unusual array of aromas – more dried citrus peel than I am used to in this varietal. Lovely appetising dry finish after a hint of dried rose petals. Perhaps too perfumed to drink with food, but really distinctive and much livelier than most Gewurzes. 13%, £14.95, Roberson
Ch des Vaults, La Jalousie 2010 Savennières
Very firm and dense, just off-dry Loire Chenin Blanc. A magnificent wine you could drink any time this decade – preferably with carefully chosen white fish. 14%, £14.99, 37 Waitrose stores and www.waitrosewine.com
Zilliken, Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett 2011 Saar
Lovely open fruit and great delicacy and precision. Racy, and so fluid and easy to like. Thoroughly decent, classical apéritif – heartening evidence of just how good 2011 Kabinett can be. 8%, £16, The Wine Society
Weinbach, Faller & Filles, Reserve Pinot Blanc 2009 Alsace
Seventy per cent Auxerrois. Floral, just off-dry and pungent – a very lively, bumptious mouthful. Essence of Alsace! Admirable persistence. 14%, £16.28, Justerini & Brooks
Toolangi Chardonnay 2008 Yarra Valley
Very lively and really sophisticated. More rewarding than many white burgundies. Really charming. 13.5%, £19.50, Berry Bros & Rudd
Bergström, Old Stones Chardonnay 2009 Willamette Valley
A mineral, lip-smacking treasure from Oregon. Tastes much more of vineyard than of winemaking, unlike so many American Chardonnays. 13.9%, £24.95, Roberson
Red wines
Villa Maria, Private Bin Syrah 2009 Hawkes Bay
Screwcapped and with a dreadfully dull label, but it's dark and savoury with both leather and fruit aromas. Lots of fun. At the lower price, it's great value. 13%, £12.49 (20% off all NZ wines £9.99), Majestic
Mendel, Lunta Malbec 2010 Mendoza
From Lunlunta vines planted in 1928! Big, glamorous and very well judged. Pure hedonism without too much alcohol. Some minerality. 14%, £12.99 (buy 2 bottles at £9.99 each), Majestic
Tierras Coloradas Old Vine Carignan 2010, Montsant
From Celler Masroig. Impressive freshness as well as ripeness from close to the much more expensive Priorat zone in the hills above Tarragona. 14%, £10.95, 21 Waitrose stores
Cuvée Balthazar Syrah 2010 IGP Pays d'Oc
Intensely rich, blended by winemaker-for-hire Pierrick Harang from the Hérault and the hills of the Minervois. Like Syrah on steroids, but there is no excess of alcohol or oak. 13.5%, £10.99, 21 Waitrose stores and www.waitrosewine.com
Catena Malbec 2010 Mendoza
Such sophistication and class! A contrast to more souped-up examples. Lovely fluidity and freshness. Fully ripe, glossy fruit but not artificially sweet, nor aggressively potent. 13.5%, £11.86, 269 Waitrose stores and www.waitrosewine.com; £12.99, Majestic
Moss Wood Amy's Blend 2010 Margaret River
This Western Australian was so much more impressive than a similar Bordeaux blend, Ch Cambon La Pelouse 2007 at £17.99, tasted alongside it. Subtle, with nothing forced, but already hugely enjoyable and complex. 14.4%, £14.24, 225 Waitrose stores and www.waitrosewine.com
Joseph Drouhin 2009 Chorey-les-Beaune
Drouhin always has a light touch and no shortage of fruit. Works really well with the force of the vintage. Warm, mushroomy, ready. 13%, £15.95, Nickolls & Perks, Berry Bros & Rudd; £15.99, 225 Waitrose stores
Chamonix, Troika 2009 Franschhoek
Juicy and fine. Real energy in this refined South African. Good balance. No excess alcohol but not quite bone dry. Silly heavy bottle. Complex for the money. 14%, £18.25, Berry Bros & Rudd
Felsina Berardenga 2008 Chianti Classico
Mmm. Sumptuous. Take me to that Florentine trattoria … Great vitality, typicity and balance. Already drinking very well. Some Tuscan 2008s are looking very good. May be found on some Tesco shelves at £20.29. 13%, £22.65, Noel Young
Contino Reserva 2006 Rioja
Lots of pure fruit and just the merest sprinkling of dust. Very savoury and well balanced. This is proper wine. 14%, £23, Wine Society, and some Tesco Fine Wine stores
Terre Nere, Feudo di Mezzo 2008 Etna
Shaded, evolved ruby. Masses of ripe, minerally fruit and more than a hint of Pimms (cucumber peel, the bitterness of quinine). A really interesting wine from Sicily's most fashionable wine region. 13.5%, £24.28, Justerini & Brooks
Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2008 Tasmania
From Bicheno on the east coast of the island. Subtle colour suggests this should be compared with burgundy rather than Australian Pinot. Subtle nose, with generous reward of fruit – ripe but not sweet. Lovely wine with real complexity. Lightly spicy. Dry finish. A food wine if ever there was one. 14.2%, £24.28, Justerini & Brooks
