Default on the road again!!!!

well i got my backup motor dropped in the red r/t early this afternoon....i honestly didnt think it would work but a few hours later and i was driving the car.....nothing like slapping a turbo on a stock motor with 180,000 milesthe way it sits now its running 8psi and sounds great.....only problem is that now i have a rear brake caliper sticking so im gonna go and get another one tomorrow....
other then that, no oil or coolant leaks or anything....now im in love with the car all over again

if this motor start making any knocking them in just gonna take a ride out in the country, turn the boost up to 20psi and blow the **** out of it

You still had plenty of life in those tires, these on the other hand, not so much....

ive ran much worse tires then that on my neons....i have about 30 old tires sitting between my shed and the garage that have belts showing all over the place.....

i have a decent amount of time now since i only have 1 job instead of 4.....but either way it only takes about 4 hours to get a motor dropped in and the car on the road again....
got my new brake caliper today and picked up a new floor jack and impact wrench.....now the car run and drives great...but i dont have anything left to work on right now...

maybe i will get lucky and tomorrow sumthing will break on one of the cars
