mob said:Nothingit was fall break so I didnt have to worry about school, but I either got a ride from my friend or had to wait till 6pm for my moms car to get to work, needless to say I was late everyday from thursday to monday, their pissed at me but oh well, they need me im not getting fired. And just in the engine?
$290 for heads
$200 for intake
$250 for headers
Thats all the money ive spent on the engine
$150ish i think for a bcam and powered by ford charged like 900 bucks to install it, my dad had that done a long time ago.
This is of course not including stuff like gaskets, bolts, sealant, spark plugs, all that extra crap you have to spend money on. COOLANT i probably have more then 200 bucks in buying coolant for my damn car, either through leaks, having to flush it, or it just disapearing
Thats just the major engine parts, I have small stuff like distributor, rotor, wires, new starter about $100, new alternator about $80, had to get a new clutch cable and fwa and quadrant, came out of jake lomattas shop with a $700 bill including labor and parts, about 100 for the fwa cable and quadrant, like $160 for gears, $80 for the bearing kit, and about $250 to install, came out of jake lomattas with another $700 bill cause I had to get all new rear brakes. The car has a good amount of money in it for a highschool studentIve been working for a year and a half now and have 20 bucks sitting on my desk, thats all the money i have till next wednesday, I pull in about 300 every 2 weeks. Next pay check is insurance time, and I have a $200 ticket to pay. Someone on corral is about to buy my headers that didnt work on the p heads, just waiting for the payment.
ryan218 said:yeah i see where your coming from...
So i take it that this was your dads car at one time then you bought it from him? or he gave it to you?

It was like a year and a half ago car looks the same. He posted a video when he first got it. He was driving it in a storage parking lot. I belive it looks the same he just cleaned it good and got different rims cause he had prime rims on it.ryan218 said:nice. got any pics from then?
Henceforward said:Did your idle level out under 1000 RPM after the engine warmed up?
If not, you should set it down a little lower, say 700-800.
Little idle demons are everywhere on SN...
