Way to BS there Jim. Atleast you are good a something. LOL!

Hey, Troy was that your doing? I can spend my own money thanks.

Well, the shock is back in the sled. What a PITA that was! I had to ratchet the shock down in order to get the bolt in. Anyway that is done and now I can relax a bit.

My older bro just texted me a pic of his new motor. He got a '03 Cobra block and bore it to a 4.8L and got a stroker kit to put in it. WTF, do money trees grow wild down there or what!? His goal is 700HP.

Careful Cory ... there is proof in here that you are buying a truck, trailer and some sleds. It's on the internet now. Everything on the internet is true...

Nope it wasn't me! We do like to help spend other peoples money though.

Of course the money tree's keep growing down there because it never gets cold enough to quit growing! Sounds like a sweet motor to me!

Kind of ironic that the tag that says "wohoo first tag" is now the last tag.

The mod motors can do it. They like the power and RPM's.

They do like rpm but I was thinking more stress because of the stroker kit going into it. At least using the cobra block so that will help

I used to. Didn't last summer but maybe once.

It's completely drivable, but yet needs so much still and I don't have time for it, so it sat. But yes, it's quite fast!

We can do that Mike!

My day wasn't to bad. Doctor visit was good today. No other complications. Still swollen, but I could have told him that...

Jim, yeah it fills the bay a bit. But it was a fairly easy swap...
