Nope.... not anymore anyway. Do BS jobs here and there for spending money.

School 3 days a week for half a day.

Wish I had my Bronco during the week to work on, but it's almost 2 hours away....
IF I did, then it might actually be done, but I don't worry about it on the week end, b/c I'm to busy

Or you could be lucky like me an wrench on your truck while on the clock at work.

Im just jumping on the internet for a while to check some torque specs.

Is it considered mall crawler-esque to paint a cast iron water pump cast aluminum to match the heads and intake?

Im really on the fence with it.

Ford blue is one of the hottest engine colors especially with some chrome and aluminum in the mix. I might just paint it aluminum take a pic and post it. If the vote is no Ill paint it back blue. No big deal.

Yeah it has its perks but...

Im at work before all my employees

Im at work after all my employees

Im at work on the weekends and sometimes holidays when my employees are getting drunk etc.

Its not always a walk in the park. Sometimes I wish I worked for someone and didnt have the stress involved with running your own business.




On that note...
Im back to work on Georges engine.

Check out pics 5 and 6
GKCrewchief's New Built Motor!! - The National Lightning Owners Club, Inc.


The Arthur at AVT performance has restored all of my dads cars as well as my 69 Boss and he called my dad a few min ago to tell him a guy he was building a lightning motor for took pics of his 427FE (stroked to 454ci - not Chebby) and posted them on this forum. This is the first time Ive seen the car in 6 months maybe more but its cool to see other people admiring your junk.

Dad is an @$$ for not wanting me to race it.....that is all!

But the ford style bellhousing and mounts can be had from classifieds or ebay etc... and put on any 4bt.. Also try and get the p-pumped motor but VE will do.

Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.
