alright, i'll try to remember to. it'll be a couple weeks. i thought people have cracked a few 3.8's from power? i know the supercoupe blocks are stronger, as are some of the later 4.2 blocks (more webbing in the valley, if memory serves). good to know though, and good luck.

I made a list of what i want to do to my car before i'm done with it and it looks like this:

-full exhaust
-Built 4.3L
-boost
-built rear end
-tranny
-body and paint

I'm happy to mark 2 things off that list.
buenos suertes and keep us updated.
