Default Sine we are a month into winter

Anyone actually got anything done to their car yet?

Me I have ordered some lift bar's, got the piston's and now found myself with a turbo and 12.1 compression piston's along with a *** stroker crank. All I have put on is a smaller carb for winter

I have to finish my dad's Jeep, that should be up and running tomorrow. The I have to pull my Cutlass in and change the oil (9,000miles till she hit 300k miles Then pull in my old Go-cart and fix that up and trade my friend for a fresh Olds 350. That is when I will pull my 442 in and yank the motor out and push her out incase I have to work on some other car. She probably won't be done till May unless the motor needs a rebuild then I will put in my friends 350 and then just get my car painted and rebuild the motor slowly and I garrentee it will see no less than 400hp on pump gas and still be driven every day

All I've seem to have done was put more miles on it. I'm basically saving up all my money during the winter to so when summer comes I can blow it all on car stuff!!

I port matched a Bullit intake to an Accufab t/b.
Going to get it powder coated @ Exotic Coatings.
Then do the intake swap on my GT.

I installed that Steeda oil seperator a few weeks back. Now thinking about the bigger injectors and more boost. Not sure yet.

Oh, I also changed the sparkplug on the snow blower and refilled the gas tank This baby moves now!!!!

Camshaft exploded(4 pieces), knocked the back of the block out, and cracked one of the lifter bores. This is on my Olds, so Ill still have the mustang to play with until the Olds motor is done.
