Thanks guys, I'll def get some new pics up when I can.

Jake, yea it has been a while huh. I've been all over the place with school but I'll be around this summer for cruises and stuff. No racing probably, I'm done breaking my daily driver lol. Hope to catch ya around.

Yes, it's another 302. Stock forged pistons, ARP rod bolts, file fit rings, blueprinted and balanced. I got it for a good price it'll work for my daily activities.

I know right...I'm REAL bummed about that shit. I'm waiting to hear back from the welder about just how much it'll cost to fix. If it's too much then I might have to scrap the whole project .
