Unhappy Not sure when i'll have my baby running again..

Ok so before i came to school i started building a LT-1 383 on the side since the motor in the car was getting weak from high mileage... Well looks like plans have changed again.. The 383 is on a huge hold up with being at Wyo-Tech, and i decided to last week that i'm parting out the motor that is in my car right now, but that wont be close to even buying the heads that i want, so i guess this car wont be finished for a while
