You know, that motor could use some nice rods and pistons
So have I, but it's not something I like doing. My jack sucks. The surface area is like 1"x1".

It's still getting a nice set of pistons and rods. I'm going to run it with the stock ones for a while though. I can't stand having this car sit here for months at a time not running. It pisses me off.

Cash that check this Friday. I'll be ready. 5 more days.

You can buy me a new tranny and a clutch kit.

I'll be your best friend.

Ha, getting it there would be the hard part.

How high can I go with a scissor jack?



Got her in though...


I found out I don't have the right upper, driver side mount. The one I have hits the god damn cam gear. The other ones I have are different. Out of all the ---- in my garage and I don't have the right upper motor mount bracket for a SOHC motor. Oh well......

Would you like to donate a nice floor jack and a set of jackstands?

I had a tire holding up the other side so I was alright.
