Default One thing leads to another...

I'm about to do an engine swap. First it was a N/A 383. Now its a boosted 390 (Already have shortblock with -15cc dish pistons). Going to run it N/A for now with 241 heads till I can afford my turbo kit. Then after I got that. I said might as well put a bad *** cam in it while its out. Cam, push rods, double valve springs. Then I said I might as well buy a new oil pump, ls2 timing chain, ls7 lifters, ls2 lifter trays. Now I'm saying might as well replace my 140000 mile clutch while its out. I don't know what will be next... Possibly a BMR turbo k memeber... I just want to get the damn engine in the car already its been sitting in my living room for almost 3 months now...

That's 400 pounds of metal flying towards you, you have exactly 2 seconds to find out what the **** you are going to do. Your choices are:
A) take it like a man
B) RUN ***** RUN!

I highly suggest you do B!
