Hey everybody

[TwinTurbo4vGT]

Hey everyone! decedent to drop on in after a long absence. After my car getting flooded by sandy and pretty much destroying my engine I just got so disgusted with it that I just let it sit. I had a daughter last august so the little tyke has been keeping me busy :-D

I've decided to just rip the mod motor out and sell what actually works and junk the rest of it. Luckily the motor was stripped of a lot of parts to be able to work on it the week of the storm just very unfortunate that happened.

I'm going to be putting in a 460ci BBF I have laying around and I'm going to bore and stroke it to a 568ci and put twin 76mm on it. Mod motors are nice and all but their too expensive and i like the simple ness of the old school.

I'll keep you guys updated :rockon:

I hope you got past all the damage the storm caused. It's good to hear that you now have the time to get back into the hobby.

And congratulations to you and your wife on the new addition:thumbsup:

Yea it was pretty hard getting past it. It caused so much damage to me financially I thought I lost everything. My shop was under 6ft of salt waters luckily my car was 10ft off the ground on my lift but sadly the motor was on the ground :nonono:

But she makes it all better!

Thanks man she's great! She doesn't give us any problems at all. Since she was a week old she was sleeping 12 hours every night. She really doesn't cry unless she's tired or hungry either :rockon:

Sorry to hear about your motor falling victim to Sandy, and I wish you the very best with your future motor replacement plans. In the meantime, just enjoy your family. ;-)
