Does that include anyone on this thread, or just Brent?

[Shadow24V]

whole motor is avail for parting out, just shoot me a PM (although i think {not 100% sure** that a head might be toast, other than that, everything else on the motor ran fine and was in 100% working order (again, save for the exhaust being blown into the coolant system after it died). block, headers, heads, intake, etc

[Ondonti]

Here is what I have been doing

[Shadow24V]

damn, i want your flywheel! (and ill give you a 6 pack to swap it for me!) lol

good job, that thing gonna run and drive sometime soon?

I like that photo sequence. Makes us all remember how much work is involved in assembling a new engine.

I hope everything goes right this time. How many times is this that it has been put into the car? 4 I think?

Looking forward to seeing some burnout videos and dragstrip runs!

If I could go back in time, I would have done a few things different. Now I realize there is several things I did wrong that slowed me down. I know my car was capable of high 13s easy with some slicks and gutted interior. Possibly mid 13s with a few more mods. it's too bad I had to crash the car when I was almost there. I think I am going to get another 3.0L P body as soon as I get my license back. Its a great way to have a 14 second car without spending much money on mods, insurance, or gas. Wish me luck this fall guys, when I have hearing for my license..... You know u guys miss me lol.

Hopefully. The track opens soon for test and tune. April 18th. I would like to have the rings seated etc and a $ race or 2 before then.

damn cool photo sequence. that thing you rigged up to keep the crank from turning is genious! im going to have to do that when I pull off the damper, that's the only thing thats holding me back right now. That and money for rings and gaskets.
