Mine just took a dump, time to take it out of the back burner and get started on the rebuild ASAP!

 

You and me both! LMAO!! So glad to hear it Thomas. I would even be there to help if I could. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

 

Well, its no secret, its the Mare motor! I did tell Thomas that the jury is out on whether the stock head bolts can be reused and its got 201K on it. Also, when I did a compression test it was 365 to 380. Not top compression but still a good motor. I hope it will work out for you Thomas. I just mapquested it and it will be a little drive for you, lol.

 

I figured it was pry no secret. Lol. I think I'm going to look into going ARP. That way that is done if I ever go to do future mods. After all I've heard about how much fun it is to do studs in the truck, I figure this wold be the best time to get it done.

The compression is world's better than what I have now which is 280-320. I think it's going to be a big difference. I am very excited! The drive doesnt bug me a bit. I even have a friend who is gonna check with his better half and try and come with me. I told him I would welcome the company! It will be great, I'm sure of it.

 

Where do you have to go to pick it up?

 

Outside of Detroit.

 

Oh, that's not too bad then. Anyone know if they've patched up 94 yet. That road about jarred my teeth out last time I went to Detroit.

 

Its still horrible in spots, its a wonder the 5er is in one piece.

 

Dang. Glenn, when are you leaving for Newport? I think you said wednesday a while back.

 

Looks like Aug 6 is our date for pickup. I can't tell you how excited I am! It will pry be whites last trip with the old worn out mill.

 

Then the big stix,studs,ic go in and punishment of anything on the hitch shall commence!! Rock on!

 

Budget? What budget? Lol!

 

That went out the window a long time ago.

 

What?, your a/c quit? lol

 

Huh?!?! Ac quit? Scrap the whole thing...
