Still sounds like a win to me

 

[srtthis]

Not bad for a street car

 

[srtthis]

Going to need to slow down buying stuff till after the cage is done lol

 

[srtthis]

well with my current work load/free time and all that... the car is going in February for the cage to be redone and he will be mounting the motor. after that i'll just need to wire and plumb the car

 

[srtthis]

know who cant catch a break...

THIS GUY!!!

Explorer broke a valve spring so its down now also. this is going to hurt the wallet

 

[srtthis]

cage is out...

goes for the new cage this weekend early next week.

also got the fuel pump mounted and then noticed i ordered-10 line and not -8 line. go me....

 

[srtthis]

OH YEA...

the cause of the broken valve spring. motor has never been apart and some how a high pressure fuel pump bolt made it into the intake manifold.
