here is one for the record books, im sure all of you had set backs on rebuilding your mustang. well here is mine. well if you havent guessed im in the army and i have been rebuilding a 351cj i have put 2000 in the motor and only had 1200 left to pay and the motor is finished. well along the way i came down on orders to germany i report the 10th of dec, as it sits it looks like i will not have enough money to pay for the motor, so i can store my car for 3 years but when i come back i will have no motor and wasted 2000 on rebuilding the one i found, this is the sad story of being in the army and coming down on orders when you get comfortable.lol, so i have been thinking of every way possiable to just pay for the rest to pick up the engine since its done, and with the costs of having to leave and get everything ready it looks like im screwed lol, i guess all i can say is life goes on atleast i still have the car lol. well if you got a horror story lets hear it so i dont feel so bad about mine lol.well here is a pic of the car and my motor thats done i cant pay for, damn this sucks.

I don't know if the army does this but in the Air Force if you have orders you can get a months advance pay. It works like an interest free loan from yourself. They double your pay for one month and then the amount the alloted out of your paycheck for the next 12 months. There are some other PCS allowances that you can get also, go talk to finance and see if they can help you with anything.

 

3200 bucks and you have stock rockers and bull**** springs? what the kinda deal you get ripped off on?

 

Must be some dandy machine work going on there for that price. God speed and I hope it works out for you.

 

i had it bored 30 over i had it decked and line honed i had it balanced i had the heads worked on a 3 angle vavle job new valves and springs yes those are stock rockers but they are the best for my application i had the intake port matched and the exhaust port matched i also had it ported and polished and the crank turned 10/10 and i almost forgot i got a custom cam grined for it as well thats were all the money went

 

Thats terrible man I hope everything works out for you.
