Whelp... pulled the engine today... *pics*

[GotTorque?]

what, so close to you and no call to come over and help? I feel like the red headed step child that got beat by the foster parents

J/K, let me know when you want to put it back in. I can supply the entertainment, and maybe a hand or two if absolutely needed!

Next time, I'll call! 

So you're gonna throw a stroker in there, right? Have you picked what engine series to start with? Are you going with the popular 90* smallblock, or perhaps something else?

The plan was to stick with the stock ford roller block with a 331 kit, but that's mostly for price reasons... or becasue I don't know any different.

wanted to show Miffy, Cara.

-edit, he's cleaning the engine bay today to prep for the re-load.  I've been advised I'm tranmission re-load assistant, too.  We'll get pics for you.  I wanted to show MFE your garage - way bigger than our's.

Man whatta mess!!!  LOL  I'm that bad or worse.  I've gotta 2nd what steve said Cara, if you don't have a game plan, build a 393 or 408 and be done with it.  I wish you could ride in a car with a mean 408 before you made your descision.  I had everything to throw together a T-trim 357 combo, in the mean time we threw my friends 13:1 418 in there and I was throwing rocks @ my vortech stuff!   It would blow the tires away(275/60 drag radials) on a 40 mph roll.  In his car it's gone 10.68@125mph, all motor, lifting the front wheels about a foot.  That was before we mad some changes and now it should go 10.20's or so, hyd roller and all. 


So I sold everything and i'm getting ready to run something very similar.

And it sounded awesome in Brent's car.

[sarcasm] I just can't imagine that four guys would come running to help Cara pull a motor! [/sarcasm]

Actually, I'm really surprised it was only four!

Cara, you should SERIOUSLY look at painting your garage floor with that epoxy paint.  A good scrub down with some muratic acid and a few hours with the pressure washer, then let it dry for a day or two before application.  You'd be able to just mop all that mess up and it would look SO good!

Since I stopped posting here last year, my wife and I moved back to Augusta into a new house we had built.  It has a two car garage and a 6' X 14' workshop.  I got the workshop floor painted, but the weather has been too cold when I've been home, so I haven't had a chance to paint the rest of the garage.  I fully intend to post pictures when I do though.
