Thanks for the support fellas.

I'm not really too worried about SS RRR..he's just a punk.
He's definately suckin one of the mod's dick somewhere..I say that cause a majority of the **** he has done would've been nipped in the *** already, but favoritism is clearly at play here. I've gotten warnings in the past for sticking my nose in things rudely..nothing near what this guy does to heckle people.
It must be nice to have free reign to just purely instigate bullshit..and nothing more other than that.

There are plenty of you guys that have the good spirit to tell him to shut up, and that's what matters..public opinion..lol

I still have it in storage..and it's not going anywhere any time soon. This is pretty much a heads up to see if anyone is interested.

I'm really wanting one of them CTSV's, I don't have the time/space for 2 toys, and my DD surely isn't going anywhere, so it's pretty easy which one would have to go.

Meh, give him a break. If I was running high 11's out of a SR 396, I'd be an *** hole to everybody myself.

Yeah man, but anyway, best of luck for the new wheels. I would love a nice G8 GXP, C5, C6 for myself as a new toy after college (the G8 GXP being the most "practical") but idk we'll see what happens. I'll be here for awhile with the multiple majors and grad school I plan on attending.

Best of luck to ya

And speaking of the USA: our women's hockey team may have lost to Canada, but at least we can live another day knowing our women are much hotter than Canada's. Thats what matters at the end of the day, right?

Nah. Still reads like you hawking your crap in the tech section. Since the mods are keeping this one open, how about I do a little haggling.
You drive a hard bargain, Mr. the_mervin, but I am willing to come up a bit in my price, however you are going to have to work with me here. If you can prove that 408 bad boy is as good as you hype it up to be I will give you, are you ready for this? ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! You are still going to have to throw in the free leak down. Sound fair? Let me know.

Thanks

..dude is going to keep at it till the cows come home..I'm not really concerned.

I'm not here trying to sell it at the moment, incase you missed the fact that I'm in Iraq..about 7k miles away from the Car.
I'm just giving a heads up so people that are interested can have the money when it comes time, instead of going "damn..wish I had the money.."
I don't see anything wrong with that idea.

Hell do you see any prices that I have posted anywhere?

I don't know why you keep bringin up the Leak Down Test..yea my old 402 had bad Rings..that was fixed with the .030 over Bore, new Mahle Pistons & Rings to make it the 408, and the bottom end was professionally built by the Engine Builder at the Machine Shop. Everything since then has been performed to the specific instructions that I was given. The Rings in this Engine are Seated very well, absolutely no blow-by.

Merv, you ready for that?????? Don't get to excited though, it might be a scam! What a troll! There are a lot guys in the lt1 section that are looking for something like this that is perfect for what they are wanting. He's giving the loyal LT1 guys a chance to save up or hold off on other mods for something a lot of people have tried to do and have followed his threads along his build. He's in iraq doing something most people don't have the ***** to do. When he gets home (which should be plenty of time from now for you to save a thousand bucks) if you want to meet up with him and give him a thousand bucks because his car runs like he says it does, whatever you troll. You just a punk behind a keyboard with nothing better to do because your pissed at the way your life has turned out. Shut up and go find something constructive to do.

Most Southerners have good manners and pride themselves on it. Most...

If he's not too busy, We can arrange for him to pick up trash along the highway by the main gate at LeJeune or Bragg... that'd be constructive, at least.

I'm "hawking my crap".. wow those are friendly terms.
I love how you completely ignore everyone else there bud, and come straight out and attack me..do you honestly have anything else better to do than to **** in my discussions? I'm not ****** with any of your stuff.

Since a mod hasn't banned you yet, maybe you can answer this for me..

What honestly is your reasoning to be a punk and mess with my simple topic of discussion?

I'm not posting to anyone else. I'm posting to you. Stop trying to deflect. This topic of discussion is nothing more than a Mervin personal blog thread with no technical info, so this is free post time. I'd like a leak down because I'm still not confident the deck on that block is good. With no track times available to back any of your claims, well it doesn't seem all that legitimate. One thousand dollars. Deal or no deal?

Wow..both of you totally missed the point.

I'm not talking money or any sale, this is a technical thread, not a classifieds thread, refrain from interjecting monetary amounts to deflect the intentions of this thread. If you want serious info then PM me.

I will say this in a technical sense..
Since you both have no confidence in my Engine or how it's been prepped then why are you offering to invest into it?

When it comes down to it, both of you obviously have no intentions on buying it regardless even if I was infact trying to sell it here. Quit posting useless crap in this thread, none of you have shown any technical contribution here.

Dude get off your HIGH Horse. Do you really have this boring of a life that you find enjoyment talking crap that ultimately means nothing in the end? There is a reason why the words TOOL SHED came into play at one point....YOU. Find yourself a girlfriend or better yet drive your car into the nearest body of water.
