Stop in for a cup of coffee
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL... shortly after this picture (after the coffee cruise with my buddies)
I was doing some donuts in the dirt and crunched the passenger quarter in a pole.
We went back to my buddies house and kicked most of it out and I got the scratches out with a buffer. (it looks almost normal now considering it was flat straight down from the trunk.)
Then we went and raced his Chevy v8 swapped Nissan Hardbody (truck in pic) and my transmission started to shift funny.
On the way home; (at 9:30 at night) it started to miss shifts then it lost all gears. LUCKILY I was able to coast down a hill into an autozone parking lot. After I put a bottle of stop slip and two more quarts in it I was able to drive home in first gear at 20mph.
ALSO; at the coffee cruise my friend noticed that my front intake bolts were loose. They were not in fact loose. The bolts pulled the threads out of the cylinder heads. And the 318 is huffing wet oil out of the exhaust and breathers.
So I am building a new engine; my trans guy is building me a 518 overdrive, and I got a 8 3/4 out of a charger I am going to build soon too.
