punch lines, huh??

Im positing pics as I upload them, I fell asleep last night, Ill try to be current by tonight... here is where I stopped last night.

a friend told me the replacement would never be as good as my freakishly strong original, and he was right because like 4 months later and maybe a total of 500 miles that motor was gone too.... blew a window in the side of the block... So now on to engine #3

What in the world did you do to a stock auto to blow a hole in the block like that? What are your plans now? Give us something more interesting to look at than another OEM replacement!

so...............what's the "twist"?

Is it, instead of building and modifying to go fast and look unique you decided to rebuild to OEM stock, that is out of the norm!!

Are you aware of how a build thread works? So you broke stock parts, with stock parts, and replaced them with more stock parts? Must be the fastest 14 sec car around... Cool build?
