Default Well gents I did it again...

Took me a while to post this but here it goes. This wknd the Mustang club that I am affiliated with did a cruise to the Lake of the Ozarks. We just got a new member that has a bad azz 2012 GT500. All of a sudden he breaks out of formation and everyones waving me to get behind him. Yes I knew that I was way out of my leauge but I gave chase. Not even gonna say how fast those cars are because we all know. Anyways on the way back home car starts tapping. It get's louder and I can hear the inside of the motor starting to rattle. Long story short. BLEW MY ENGINE! 2nd engine that I've blown in 10 mths. I'm done with the 2v bottom end and am piecing together a teskid S/B. Should have her up and running and about 6 wks. Thxs Uberstang and Rob (purpleicedgt) for your words of comfort as I'm going throught these trying times, lol!
