Default Time has come. UPDATED PICS AND INFO

Well if anyone knows what happened to my girl a few weeks ago, she was run hard one day and started smoking like crazy out the exhaust. Burnt piston rings, torn valve seals and a shake brings her to her moment she's been waiting for.

Car goes in to the shop Monday to have her heart yanked from her finally, only to be transplanted with a much stronger forged heart. By the end of the first week of October, she'll be rumbling and breathing like the beast she once was, but even more devilish.

Goodbye 360 RWHP 350 RWTQ. I'll miss her dearly while she's gone, but when we're once again re-connected with one another, the luv will be born again.

I will try and get pictures throughout the process to post here. Stay tuned. I already ripped her skin off as the pictures below show.

STAY TUNED!!!!!

Day 1 of teardown- Sept. 24, 2006 My house

It's getting an upgraded shortblock(new) with all new forged internals, along with top end cams, cam springs, and valve seals for the heads.

lol thanks and yeah I try to keep the bay clean since I show it a lot. Well not for the past 2 weeks I haven't, my show's or done for since she's got problems.

The pic below is what she looked like after I yanked her top apart and put the new upgraded pi intake on. That was like 3 weeks before this happened.








Yep she'll be ripped apart again. I"ll probably head to the shop every night to see the progress. They're going hate seeing me all the time. better to move along and get it done, lol. And get my girl back to me. I've got a deadline to have it up and running before Oct 7th. So I'm shooting for the 6th.

Which one? The ones in the front? They are just your normal braided hose kit. Should be able to find at any speed shop, possibly even an autozone, advanced auto, etc..
