    What does a washed up stunt rider now family man do during the winter?

    Considering his 44 year old rwd car isn't up to par for the daily 40 mile round trip commute to work?


    answer- Start making more power

    new builder block (well got a drive train w aod for $300!)


    347 forged crank/pistons stroker kit


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


    powerdyne(found well priced & might do partial trade)BD-11A

    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!

    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.
