Thanks man.

How much did you pay for your 350? Those are pretty fun to drive too, my buddy's got one, and he let me drive it once. Great sound.

What up crazy?

Anyone know Bens shop number? I popped my engine racing a Turbo Carerra the other night. I won the race (he got scarred at 135mph I guess) but lost the battle!

In need of a rebuild.

A weekend warrior!

Ya know, not really that bummed about it. Just par for the course. I wanted to repaint my engine bay, and build a stronger engine, AFTER FALL! :0)

yea everybody's been messaging me about it. asking me questions about the parts, sending me craigslists ads, etc. From what i've heard through the grapevine he thinks he blew a coolant seal and is going LSx now.

That is what I thought. Sad to see the blood sweat and tears part like that. I decided I will just learn to build the blocks myself. It wont be last time I blow this thing up!

yea kinda sucks. i wonder how he blew a coolant seal though. my setup was bulletproof on the track. never even hit above 95*C running at buttonwillow or thunderhill. most of the time temp was just hovering around 85ish for a 20 minute session.
