No, No, No. I distinctly remember the plan was fix it, sell it, buy a later model and put a supercharger on it. The plan was blessed by his better half to so I am expecting a new car in his garage this winter with the intake off and a blower going on.

I suspect my brakes will fail. I'll be sure to be right behind you on the SIH scenic tour.

There's one pre-condition...we have to move first....which means we get to try to sell a house in the current SE Michigan market.

Of course, I also have to be willing to sell a car I have so much time into. I'm not there yet.

Cool! The more people we can get in on a shark tuner, the better!

There's a bit of truth to that. Hose routing, bolt sizes, torque values...I still remembered all of it like it was yesterday.

If only I could remember birthdays and anniversaries!

Just a couple more pics...a BIG thanks to everyone who helped today. Shoe-horning that engine back in a bit harder than getting it out.

I want to drive it to work next week. Godd@mn I miss driving it!
