Good afternoon everybody.

I started tinkering with my son's mazda the other night. I started with the intention of pulling the head to see how bad the problem is, but I've changed direction to pulling the drivetrain.

Looks like i need to find or rebuild a motor now. Not what i was hoping for.
Kind of a coin flip to junk this thing or fix it.

Good evening everyone!

Spent all day working on the Cummins swap project. Got the '67 all stripped down. Up next is to strip the Dodge down.

My note 5 has been great. It's lasted longer than any phone I've had.

Good morning guys....
Jim - You might want to look into a JDM engine for that car. Ebay used to have zillions of them.
