Sucks...now I'm in the market for a new motor. Apparently I waited too long too fix my wrist pin problem and it gave out and the engine 5hit the bed. Yay for me! Now I get to really build up the engine. I can either buy a new one and install it or buy a stroker kit or a nice build kit if the #1 piston wall isn't scored up too bad. With the money I'm making now once that motors is out of the car whatever goes back in will be completly overhauled. There will be no more mistakes with my vehicle. I'm looking at my options tonight and taking the engine out next Thursday to assess the damage. It's never good when your engine light just starts blinking instantly. Wow...I'll never get to enjoy my car at this rate. Except enjoying fixing it. Anybody need a good S2K mechanic... this guy. I'm basically a pro with it now.
low comp and all.

I'm already looking at the J's stroker kit, but I want the 9k redline. AJ-racing said it's discontinued though. I'm gonna try to get the money for the Feel's 2.3L stroker kit. Whatever I do, I need to do it quick. I can't live without this car. I'm going turbo or SC when I get my nest income tax return. I just want it built right now, but I'm kinda thinking stock engine means less complications and faster turn around. I can replace the engine in a day. I'm just going to buy some extra goodies to put on like clutch and flywheel since they will be readily accessible. I don't know which kit to go with for stroke, power, money... this is probably gonna take me longer than I thought.

Making the decision will be hard. I'd talk to the guys in the turbo forum about how to build the engine for a turbo. I woudn't do it though unless I was absolutely sure your going to be able to turbo it. What use is a engine built up for a turbo if its going to be a few years before you turbo it.

good lord man.....hope you get up and running at some point lol. personally i would LOVE to turbo the car but the impracticality of it would kill me. I think a simple CTSC would be perfect. With an aftercooler your running about 290 wph.

ok here is the fukced up story for the day:
The world record for having the most number of children officially recorded is 69 by the first of two wives of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782), a peasant from Shuya, 150 miles east of Moscow. In 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. The children were born between 1725-1765
