Pirates
There I was sailin' in me boat when Pirates stole my motor! JK I have to have it checked because of low oil press and a certain marbling sound emanating from the engine. I miss it already. hopefully back soon and terrorizing the streets.

Thanks for the props. I am having the buckets recovered and the 4 speed rebuilt while the motor is down. New carpet too. This gives me a chance to toothbrush the frame. LOL. Jeremy PM me your phone#, I somehow lost it from my phone. Thanks, Jim

Remember that old saying about needing something like I need a whole in my head? It applies to those criminals off Somalia, except they have no heads left. Thanks to the best trained, toughest, Navy Seals. I read they were twenty five yards away with fifty cal rifles. Holy cow!

Took my trans in to have it rebuilt. Tony's Transmissions in New Lenox do excellent work. I asked how long the turnaround time would be and he said "Well, let's see, today is Monday.... I can have it ready by Thursday. I nearly crapped. Awsome shop.

Glad you can you access my images on image shack. They are much larger and show the routing better. Good luck, Jim

Yes, there are 23 images of different things and three other cars, I wish my driveway was half that size. Nice house, also.

Well, here we go. Got the motor back and it will be in soon. 347 hp, 388torque @ 5100. Not bad not good. I'm happy, that's all that counts.
