Drew? Jim? Mark? Anyone? I have steam coming out of my left side dump and my coolant smells like exhaust. If so, let me know and we can work something out.

Hmmmm, you've got me thinking now Joe, where might I pick some up at that price? I dunno though, I was sort of wanting to see how I could do on the stock motor, then step up to the stroker. Just keeping my options open.

corral.net auction block for windsor parts.
head gaskets are such a PITA it's a perfect time to swap heads
but I see why you'd want to rage on the E7TE's some more. while they're out, you could *secretly* grind off the exhaust bumps

Drew: I'm only 18 so I couldn't buy it for you, but I can give you some $$. I just don't want the car to be down for a long time because I'm very busy on the weekdays and only have the weekends open. So, if possible, I would want to get it done in a weekend.
Joe: That's what I was thinking about doing .

Is there anyway you can get that beast up to my place? I have a garage full of tools, (air tools). If not let me know and we can figure something out.

Yeah, it's still drivable, so I can make it up there. What gaskets should I get? When would be good?

Yeah, I think that next weekend will be cool for me too. I want to try to do as much work as possible, I just want an experienced hand available to get it done faster. Does that sound good to you? Thanks a lot Drew for offering to help me get this done ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif) .

Sounds good to me man. Get the gaskets oil, and coolant together some time during the week so we wont have to go parts hunting ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
