Well we started on the block assembly, but soon found out that there was an issue or two with the block I was DYING to have it in tomorrow night, but sh*t happens.... So Jordan now has everything so he can build my motor right now, including my pride and joy heads that GTP did ( crap sorta ) and that Elliot redid. Next time I see Jordan it goes in, so I still have something to look forward to lol

Jordan is going to come back after Xmas, I am glad today is DECEMBER that means it will be done this month, as apposed to yesterday when it was next month (trying to find a positive about all this ) The tranny was slipping and there was a short in the wiring on the car, the GM mechanics couldn't find it and suggested a new wiring harness and a total rewire. The sunfine just turned 90k too. My neighbor is a car dealer he sells in auctions and to other dealers, so he can get me a beater for 300 to 500.... he might just loan me a car though because he has a small lot with about 30 on them, he would just give me a car not rdy for auction to drive, or I buy it, and if it lasts a month, give it back to him to take to the auction. Just sucks cause I am pretty much unemployed because of the economy.... The motor is giving me nightmares lol I had one 2 nights ago. Jordan gave MY heads to his sexy girlfriend lol....absurd nightmare because Jordan can port heads himself, but I still asked him about it
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE ALL!, ALTHOUGH I AM SURE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THIS, NEVER PULL A PERFECTLY GOOD MOTOR OUT OF A CAR WHEN YOU MAY NEED SOMETHING TO DRIVE LOL

I bought a 89 dodge caravan for a beater car, 205k miles on it but it feels like it will last till my car is ready. All I am asking Santa for this year, is my car 383 rdy to drive by new years!!IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR???? LOL Thank God Jordan is doing it ( he took pity on me a few months back, I feel he may be 2nd guessing his decision lol ) rather then Arlington Motor **** or some other a@@hole shop.
