still undecided on the heads, like the WORLD windsors, but new edelbrock e streets are priced very well!

I am floored! You seem to have me figured out! Looks like you know it all since-
1-I work for a company doing better than ANY shop according to friends that are still in the slow and "dying" industrie.
2-I still keel my plates as a novelty. Maybe "NOT GRN" for my next ones.
3-hahahahahaha
4-Again that know it all attitude shows just how misinformed you are. I have been done with the washed up industry for a while now. Although I prefered service I have always been a versatile employee capible of working in almost any department.
6.You act like I know/ have met you and was an asshole??? Geuss what I usually am... until I know/people get to know me.
7.I graduated hs with no issues and have an automotive science degree.
8.Unfortunatly I usually dont have time for a road trip, dont care to fish but we do go up through the mountains sometimes on family "jaunts".
9.I am the bread winner for this family. My wife has a bad back and after she complained about loading our baby into her vw beetle I bought her a jetta. I wanted to save some money on rent so I bought us a house.Both my kids are well taken care of and somewhat spoiled but my teen has to earn it as will my toddler as she gets older.
10. See 9 and take notes. I think your response was rude and quite franly a dick head move. But hey feedom of internet speech. cheers mate I need to start my 3 day weekend(4-10s at my career job, not anything to do with bikes) and sounds like my daughters about to wake. I'll e making us a nice breakfast and watching elmo cartoons for a bit... glad I am "out of the loop" with all the bike shops since Id be working!

Looks like a fun project. What exactly are you putting it in? (Since I also drive a 44 y/o rwd vehicle daily )

thaitanic there is no e in "family" unless you are trying to put the ME back in family ;)

Looks like a great setup Derek, but I think you should scrap the 5.0 and buy my stroked 4.6 with a 76mm turbo for a new powerplant!:rock:

ANOTHER engine build...looks good man.

Dude, I figured Thai was a friend busting your balls. People like that need to figure out that people don't dislike stunters in general, just morons like him/her.
