It was about as spur of the moment as it gets, the stars aligned and the price was quite right so i jumped at it. Compression ratio is lower than i'd like but i could get a set of pistons, but the things already assembled so i might just leave it be and when i get a blower just get a nice small pulley lol it should like boost i figure

Yea, the whole thing was less than $1500 otd so i kind of had too.... 100% brand new parts including the block. I was going to sell the Focus St and save for a blower but now I'll be saving to get cams and finish this thing and get it dropped in, I can spray it while i wait for a blower or turbo.

HA !!! I'd be like "YOU WANNA RACE ? " Then I'd 3 honk it, slam 2nd, hear the engine RPM sceam to the sweet spot, pedaling the gas for the tires that are fighting for traction the whole way, vision blurs from the G's being pulled, Slam 3rd with cat like agility, tires still on the verge of breaking loose, scenery starts to look like a time travel, the joy of victory is starting to .....................Ahhhh.
Sorry, it's been a long winter, I miss my car.......

Man, I haven't been on here in a few years. I figured I might as well come back since I finally bought a Mustang last year lol. As far as plans for this year, I just need to get this Slobra running in tip top shape again. I just ordered my BBK off-road X the other night. So I'll get that put on this week, and hopefully get a CAI and tuner bought in the coming weeks or months, and see what this thing can do
