Hoopty 2.0

Got a billet 78/75 on the way. I blew my budget on this and it was a very poor decision. But..... It's pretty.



I was told the block was gonna be ready this week. I was told that last week too, but I was promised this week....

I was promised yet again that my block was going to be ready Tuesday.... and again, it wasn't. I think I made my point that I can't wait any longer, so I'm going to give it one more week and ask for my money back.

If that happens, I'm going to need everyone's help locating a useable 351w shortblock for $800 or less.

Got my block home finally.

Any reason NOT to use stock replacement rings opened up to the right gap, and use high dollar ones instead?

Block and internals are currently at Owens for assembly. I’m very excited to be on the home stretch and getting the car going again. Unfortunately, i have another hurdle to clear. My garage filled up today:


We are on the last stage of our home remodel. Paying someone to come in and replace the carpet in the bedrooms and paint the house. What a pain! Should be done this coming week though, not too much of an inconvenience
