Angry Ventilated my block guys,need help!!

Only 8000 miles on it,what a shame.guess i pushed it to much.I did manage a 12.1 at 111 with 1.65 60ft times before it went.damn rods.Well now its time for a built bottom.Me and my boys are gonna pull it out this weekend.Whos got the best bottom end and for how much??Never did make that 11,but hell a built bottom and 10s sounds better every time i think about it.I,ll post some pics of it when it comes out.

Say it aint so

Man that sucks
How am I ever gonna whoop your *** now ?
Not a chance with a Built Motor.

Next time we meet up, your gonna outright embarrass me.
125HP Juice is pushing it Bro, but I know what you mean with constantly wanting more, and pushing more.
I'm currently running 65HP Jets, I feel thats a safe place to be.

Johnny has built bottom ends for $3500.00 I believe, give him a call, put some heli-coils in the head, new head gaskets, stud kit,
"and you could be back together for under 4k"

Chim, "S+K Speed" on Rt 109 in Farmingdale, still has a full Machine Shop in house. They can help you out with the heads I would imagine ? and or anything else you may need. I just threw the price sheet out yesterday "for the Machine Shop Work", do you have this months S+K mailing ?, it's on the last 2 pages.

Sorry to hear this Chim
Next time I run into you, I'm hiding...........

Yeah,
It had nothing to do with the fact that he has a 6# lower and a 125 dry shot on a cool night.

He took it to the limit and lost.


Chim, Sorry to here. I hope you get everything up and running soon.
