You aint kiddin about the rain, we get it here too. The worst winters here consist of 1/4" of snow one day the whole winter, and they close schools for that lol, and occasionally after it rains in the winter that night it will all freeze and school will be closed again.

Nothing it 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 student Ive 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.

Flowmasters were too quiet for me, these are ALOT louder, the longer the case of course the more muffler so the quieter it is, its cheaper but also louder. Im not sure if you can tell a difference with a longer case though. But these are VERY loud, I love it but for most folks it would be too loud.
