FML. Real Talk.
 

Motor just let go in the Mustang. Guess I'll have a 408 sooner than later.

Shit. What happened?

Don't know yet. Took it out for a ride, started hearing some faint knocking noise. Being the Shawnboy I am, I grabbed some third to fix its wagon and it let go. Limped it home knocking like a mofo.

See facebook reply lol.

That sucks a big one. Looks like there will be alot of new stuff happening under CHP hoods over the winter time.

Yeah about that engine stand......I think I'm gonna need it now.

Lol i figured. Lmk if you need something else... im sure you have everything i have x10 though.

Well I have 69 windsor block laying around somewhere if it will help...

Dibs! Sending you a PM!

Time to trade.

Not so much. This car will be with me when you're in a rocking chair drooling on yourself. Wait thats not too far away. Old man. Lol. :finger:

Now lets not be hasty. That block you have is tits as long as it didnt pitch a rod. Sleeving it might be a bitch but that block is like baby bear soup.

Maybe it got scared of a certain white-hooded SOM Pontiac :poke:

I keed.

Really though, that fucking sucks.

Dont really like the cemented block for street use. Street cars to the mafawkin front yo.

I would have eaten his lunch. At least he'll be able to say he got beat by a 408 when we do race. Sounds better that way.

Better get yourself a dart block for that kind of power

(or a 5.3)

Meh. Stock block good to go.:bigthumb:

srry to hear that.

408, Finnaly someone will be worthy of my gas.

Two words........

Blow through :)

You sound like Bradley lol

Ryan if you or shawnboy need a stand I've got a cornwell with 4 casters alot more stable than the ones with 3 that hasn't seen the light of day for a while... either of you are welcome to use it.

I was going to buy one tomorrow since shawnboy is going to need his. Will you be around town tomorrow?

Got an autozone ad in the mail today. They have a Duralast stand for $59 until Monday.

I'm sayin!

You say that like its a bad thing?

I saw this also, im probably just going to pick one up for that price... Hell i can resell it on CL after for $50.

I got Oreillys to price match their acdelco stand to harbor freight. 39.99. And also the acdelco 2ton engine hoist. 179.00

Watch out........A Ford engine might not fit on that AC Delco engine stand. If it does, it might be bad ju-ju! :hysterical:

On a more superstitious note, it sure is weird that when someone offers to lend out their engine stand, their own engine gives up soon afterward.

Must be Voodoo! :hail:

Guess we will be in our wheel chairs watching your kids run it then. Because you aren't far away from me in age.age

Lol true that.

What year block is it? And what is the Bore?

69 block .060 over

Keep the setup you have now. Through some new bearings in and do the swap to run on corn.

Its not likely that the rod in question or crank is any good. Its knocking like hell.

Sorry to hear about you mota. Now you get to build it your way. :bigthumb:

If it comes apart... Check the deck height. I might be interested in the block for future if its not been shaved a ton. I'll still need to keep compression low.

Sorry to hear it, figured the 5 speed would check out before the motor...

Thanks D. Sometimes I think folks gather around betting against me.....lol
