It all started with a, "Honey, you want to go for a quick spin around the block?"

So the car had been sitting for a couple of years, and after a couple of Beam-n-Cokes, I decided to fire the ol' girl up. She ran pretty good, sooo...well..you know what happens next. Take it for a quick spin - #1 mistake. Take it to 6000 in 2nd gear - #2 mistake. Supercharger + old fuel =

But to be honest, it was the most damn liberating feeling!!! I had a dozen good years with the previous combo, and was just bored with it. Can't wait to go faster.

And she ended up here...

Couple Beam-n-Cokes don't generally go well with "taking the old girl for a spin". With that said, I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store. If the beans are still cooking, I'd be willing to bet there's a **** ton of hot sauce up in that mix.

And it just hit 6000 miles. That factory engine was a good test bed for EPP & Brutespeed.

It did, but only for a second. The piston exploded and pieces blew through the pan right next to the starter. In fact, it cracked the starter case. An engine diaper will be installed on this build. I was lucky the oil down didn't get to the rear tires.

Hot damn, can't wait to see the end result. I know there won't be any corners cut and the finished product will be great.

Wow, that's awesome that you only have 6,000 miles on that car! I'll check back for this build often. Wonder what other super low mileage LT1 F bodies are still around...
