RE: 2V Buildup thread
Thanks to everybody who has helped me so far but at this point I have come to a decision.
The car is going to get another stock low mileage motor and a more conservative tune. This is turning into a $6k project and I just don't have that kind of money to be spending. I am not abandoning the car, or the buildup. I am gonna keep the stock block (if its still good) and build it slowly as the money comes in. I just realize that if I do this it will stretch me to my limit. Not over but to my limit and with the additional power I realize more things are gonna break, aka tranny and rear end and that would put me far over my limit.
Once again thanks to everybody who has done any legwork, pm'd, or shown support to me for this but after 3 sleepless nights stressing over it I am still 21 (just turned June 30) and have plenty of time to build the car up.
