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!

So no bad water seal...just too frickin cold out trying to light off e85 and just flooded the **** 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
