Well the trans went out on the way home from a buddies house last Sunday and at the same time the current engine started huffing a considerable amount of oil out of the exhaust and breathers. then my intake bolts pulled the threads out of the heads. all In one day.
so Im building the engine I have in order to get the car up and running again which is why it's a 318 and not a stroker 360 or 340 or something like that. and to get the power I want out of it and to have a little fun too, it'll need to spin a little higher. (I also really love a screaming small block)
