Racin_Jason Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Heh, it was like building my engine in a bar at 1AM. Everyone's drunk, the music was loud and the place is full of cigar/cigarette smoke. The work bench was covered with engine parts and beer bottles. And No, I wasn't drinking while building the engine Never a dull moment at Dan's place! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Very sweet looking motor with all the right parts! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 Thx Davy! I honestly didnt expect it to turn out as clean as it did. I'm almost NOT looking forward to seeing it between the fenders of my "turd on wheels". The key word being almost I hope to get the engine/tranny combo in the car this coming weekend. One step closer to being among the group of asphault terrorists! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
