Dude I feel ya. Just recently...a rear brake caliper bolt fell out causing it to grind...went to allignment after installing springs and told I need to by c/c plates after paying full price for an allignment (my buddy put on the exact same springs and didn't need the damn plates!)...had to reinstall stock h pipe because the o/r h I bought used started hanging bad...my synchros are going and I need a trans rebuild. So yeah, I feel ya bro. Is your car still sounding like a piece of s#!t? Anything further happening?

now all in all, this may seem like bad luck, but it all depends on how you look at it, i say its time for a forged short block with heads/cams

Blinking means misfiring. Check your coilpacks.

blinking means the car is in "limp mode" and that you shouldnt drive it

we don't need heads, the ford gt uses a variant of our head b/c of their flow numbers...cam's no so much, shortblock is a good idiea w/ twin 57's
