I love being one of the only people to have seen it in person in it's current incarnation.

Yeah, but you haven't wrenched on it like me. :)

I love being one of the only people to work on it to get it from its previous state to its currect state. ;)

So will this have like a 286 processor like the 80s?

No one should ever try and post something funny here ever, for this is the zenith of r3v humour. It cannot be topped, it won't be topped.

I agree, but keep in mind that most of us don't have the time/money/space to be able to attempt a rebuild like this.

nor desire?

before you try to claim people don't have the ability to do something, be sure you aren't assuming they would want to even in the first place

[kowalski]

most people here like their cars, and want to make them more enjoyable, so yes most people here would want to do so. my problem is that i have 3 engines int he garadge, and an unfinished 56 belair that me and my bro are working on...

[James Crivellone]

I thought you rebuilt this bad boy like a year ago?

That was just a simple I motor swap.

This part is a tad more involved then that =)

[Bimmerfanatik]

I'm not all that excited, its just I am concerned about the longevity of the engine I have. Given what happened to Scott after he got my old car, lets just say I am concerned about the other shoe dropping sometime soon . . . .

$1200 later and I went from a 137k mile i motor to a 2.7i with a fresh head and gaskets. Not the best timing moneywise and it was a real inconvenience not having a car, but now that it's all settled down, I'm happy I got it all done.

Good luck with everything, James. What's that sensor on the end of the bolt holding the filter housing to the block? Never seen one before.

Glad you finally got it done. Here's to hoping this one lasts a LONG time. ;)

Man, you guys are like celebrities, you get to know what James is dumping money into!

[Spaz]

[EtaSport]

[MikeK]
