Ah... POTR is back to the usual standards, I actually try to do some work today, stupid I know, and I'm already back two pages.
Sal, my place or Jed's. I have everything except the caliper tool.
Karts... Count me in. If I can get my big *** in one of them I'm game. That place is fun but it wears you out FAST !
Bill I don't know what to say. I think we all knew it was possible and hoping that they'd be safe. Still it doesn't soften the gut-punch. Really sorry to hear it. Good news if it can be called that, is that the hill to climb is just a little bit higher, then it's downhill the rest of the way.

Bill - At least the engine is out. Sorry to hear about the heads. This will be behind you in no time
POTR - sure glad that I have to stop work and briefly read so as to not fall behind
Karts sounds like fun. So... what's the plans for Saturday

Wow, two offers in one day......and one of them doesn't even KNOW IT YET!
.....did I mention that Mustang people are the greatest?
Anyplace is fine with me....just whoever is the most comfortable with me scattering parts around for a couple hours.....I'll let you guys flip for who gets to torment me while I'm getting my hands dirty....
Hmmmm....I can feel an entertaining video spoof coming on.....at MY EXPENSE!

Did you ever think of ditching the block and heads and getting a crate motor new or used,Or are you going to try and fix what you have? Either way $$$. That s_cks.
This would make anybody sick of cars.

Bill I feel for ya. I can't imagine going through what you have with the TR. Your plight has really, really scared me when it comes to FI. I might have done it by now, but I'm really afraid I could be the 1 in 100 that ends up in your situation.
Carnage pics.. *explicit*
Motor out.. finally.
Junk in the oil pan
Cheap POS cast rod
RIP
Crack in block (2 places)
Windage tray all bent to fck
cap of connecting rod
#8 cylinder
#8 cyl head
comparison - good chamber vs AFU chamber
At least it's worth a buck.. just like I promised.

You would be a great candidate for a 427 cobra jet, 460 big block or a 5.4 liter big block. If your going to spend money buy as much as you can for as little as you have to spend. Think big be big. Retrofit that supercharger onto something bigger. Don’t fall into the pitfall, think out side of the box. From all of your posts you strike me as someone who always looks at a bigger picture.

You can probably find some new take-off heads relatively cheap Bill....... Sorry about the block, etc. but I didn't think it would be worth much.
