i havent gotten on here and said anything yet cause i haven't really had the urge to but my brother Jimmy passed away in an automobile accident on the 13th of march. He was 24. He had a beautiful 86 t top car that was converted to 93 cobra specs, bright red paint. He had just gotten off work and was following his boss home on the highway here and went out to pass him (and no he wasn't racing anybody, just driving home) when he lost control of the car and went into on coming traffic and was hit by a ford f350 pulling a 40' flat bed trailer. Great, great guy with a beautiful soul and smile. He just got married last november and has a daughter on the way. I'm going to miss him soooo much.
well, i went up to look at his car in the wrecker yard the other day when i noticed the motor and transmission were still in good shape (albeit what was left of the front of the car was about a foot to the left of where it should have been.) My brother had gotten the motor rebuilt, balanced and blueprinted not 10000 miles ago as well as put a new transmission in it at the same time. well i asked the guy at the wrecker yard if i could purchase the motor and tranny and he said yes for $200. I pulled it all out yesterday and noticed the motor mount of the driver's side had ripped a chunk out of the block rendering the block useless but i have 2 extra blocks. I tore the motor down last night also, ALL the internals are still PERFECT. There were also a few other goodies on the car i didnt know about such as crane 1.6 rr's, double roller timing chain and brand new centerforce clutch. I'm psyched about all the brand new parts for my car, i just wish i didn't have to get them this way. I got lucky too, the guy scraped the car today, so if i showed up a day later, i wouldn't have gotten all my brother's stuff. I think my brother Jimmy helped me with that one. I love you and i'm going to miss you big brother. Rest In Peace. 09/14/82 - 03/13/07
