too many problems. i got the alternator braket and it didnt work because the blower shaft is in the way and also my 3G alt is way too big. so i had to make some crazy bracketry and i still dont think its gonna work.

atleast 1 headgasket.
me and my buddy chad took it out for a cruise. we stopped in a parking lot and a few other people i knew showed up, we hung out for a while. i went to take it for another drive and got next to this old dodge i think it said swinger on the side. he gave it all he had and i didnt even bother to get on it. we pull up to the next light and i give it about 1/4 throttle, he doesnt go. then the last light we start going, i gave him the hit and i waited till 2500 then gave it 3/4 throttle and gained 3 cars by 4500 and let off. so sweet!!

then later i pulled next to some (black) guys in an old caprice with 22s on it, did the same thing to him i love f-ing with people. he told me to pull over cuz he wanted to talk to me. im going to put a carb and some valve covers on his car for $350.

but anyway when we were on our way back to my house (at this point i still hadnt got on it thru all the gears) i opened it up all the way and high 11s i tell you!! but near the top of third gear BOOMPH!!! anitfreeze all over the place, my windshield is covered, ad i had the t-tops off so i got soaked too. I go to stop and see what happened and the car died. once i got it stopped i found the lower radiator hose blew off, so i think... eh easy fix. after that gets done i turn it back on and its running like total *****. so i go about 1/4 mile to the next gas station to get some water. steam was coming out of the breather and the oil was all milky blown headgasket

i poured in 2 gallons and try to start it again with the cap off the radiator so i can see the motor suck it down and i can add more water. well when i cranked it water shot out of the radiator about 2 feet, and it surged with every compression stroke. must have been re-using old head bolts that did it. im gonna get some arp head studs and hopefully have it running again next week.
