Re: project: FTD

nope wernt playing in the mud. he left the ebrake on when trying to launch my truck
all I heard was a loud pop and she moved 6 inches..

hahaha

oh well so is life.

so i got her home and running good for one day and on the way home she popped a bit and shut down.

she lost two studs of the 1 cyl
turns out the head cracked there because the new press in studs went in very easily, cracked all the way down to the water jacket... dangint..
LUCKILY i just sold a blazer to a buddy.
and i got these. (picks and update coming soon)
Patriot sbc 23 degree heads
aluminum heads
190cc runners
2.02 intake
1.60 Exhaust
Hardened steel seats
Max life .575.
.750 reach, gasket seat angle head plugs


new oil pan , all new gaskets ROLLER ROCKERS! new hardware everywhere aluminum valve covers to clear the roller rockers. and incidentals (oilchange etc)

not the worlds greatest deal but hell it's better then 2k book value.
and the 3 heads i had good left i sold, the 6months old springs are potientially sold. and a buddys got 700 for me to assemble a motor for him standing by..
