A Yank from Cornfield Country

My name is PT Schram. I am a Land Rover addict!
You may know of me from Discoweb.org, Pirate4x4, Land rover Repair Forums, or references in Land Rover Lifestyle Magazine (where I was featured as the technical support for Jason Michaels' OBC effort) and most recently in Alloy+Grit.
I run a small Land Rover only repair shop in the middle of nowhere Indiana where I am the only game in town locally to work on Rovers.
But, this is slowly changing to being primarily an engine building shop as I'm going back to my roots of the late 70s/early 80s when I was building small Block Chevy engines for the local drag racers. Driving this move also, is the fact that I recently became part owner of a Stuska 800 HP water brake dynamometer that is being configured to accommodate only Land Rover V8s.
I joined this site now because I was recently diagnosed with head and neck cancer and will be down from work for the foreseeable future and a VERY good friend gave me a MegaSquirt 3 kit for me to have something productive to do as I recover from this horrible disease-I have a very good prognosis, but right now, need to gain some weight so I am strong enough to finish the 12 remaining radiation treatments and one remaining chemotherapy treatment.
