and so the project begins (fd)

well recently my engine up and died on me, smokes horribly and spews oil out, prolly a number of problems, quite possibly including spun bearing and blown oil seals, we will see. this weekend i pulled the engine and trans out, along with exhaust and ppf. i will post up soome pics taken before and during the engine pull a little later, and will take pics of it as it gets put back together with either a rebuilt motor or a new soul, im unsure about what direction the car will be heading in. but stay posted for some pics either way

LS2, He's had an LS2 block for a while that he wants to build up. I say just do the LS2 already or sell the block so you stop debating

im sure at some point it will be boosted for sure, i might actually just pick up a junkyard gto pullout and go stock ls2 for now and slowly build up the block i have. money is tight right now tho so time will tell, start school soon and might be joining the airforce shortly after that so who knows, waiting on my dad to email the pics i took with his nikon d90 as soon as he does that i will post them up here
