Oh no, sounds like a blown water seal. You'd best just gift it to me... ;)

Seriously though, beautiful car. Can't wait to see some vids of this sucker running!

Doc Holiday 04-14-11 12:44 PM

Not if it has a bad water seal....... jus sayin :(

Trots*88TII-AE* 04-14-11 03:00 PM

Uh oh, I hope I'm not the guy that jinxed it. :blush:

Uncle Rico 05-24-11 11:03 AM

So no bad water seal...just too frickin cold out trying to light off e85 and just flooded the shit outta the motor! Got her running in a rushed attempt to get to the track again!
Got enough street passes to do some good shake down and off we go!
Make one pass, (actually a half pass) and end up with a cracked rear housing :(. now time to pull it all back apart...
F M L!!!

What set up u are running. From what I can see on the picture it looks like a Blowthru. Holley running a bws400 turbo . Did it lean out that's why u cracked a housing?
Thanks Julio
