I know how you feel, I have to drop $1,500.00 on my motor tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll have it ready by the end of summer. Plan on installing it in September or somewhere around there. So I feel your pain man! But next summer WILL Definentely be a fun 1.
What all are you doing to the new motor?? If you don't mind me asking!

I'm going with a N/A 383 Stroker w/11.5:1 (or so) compression with a LE2 h/c Package, and ALL the Bolt-ons. Should run pretty stout! But we'll see!

Thats a pretty stout setup there.... I'm sure you'll love it when it's all done.
Good Luck with it and LMK how hard the engine swap goes! Intersted in that since I'll be putting in my 383 at the end of this summer.

Only people that go there are the ones that want to hang out with the high school crowd and mostly ricer crowd and wanting to take a high risk that some idiot will crash into their parked car.

Yeah remember the ricer that kept doing donuts and damn near hit our cars that night. Then I yelled at their dumb-asses and they left. What an idiot. I mean damn you have a 19 second honda and in order to make you feel good about it you have to go and punch the gas in reverse top get it to spin.... GTFO! Thats why I don't hang out there anymore. I've put too much time and money into my car to get it trashed by some young *** ***** who probably doesn't even have insurance on his $500.00 POS.

Last time I was there I had some drunk come up and start talking to me about how I should race his buddies 4-500hp car...........

It was so hard not to laugh at that guy, he was WASTED.........

I call it the High School hang out... lots of girls there so you get a lot of guys trying to show off.

It is cool when the muscle guys roll threw, the looks are priceless.

If they are anything like my Pacesetters, it will be pretty easy. I have it down to about 2.5-3 hours installed. Of course that all depends on how rusty the factory exhaust is, and if it'll require some studs to be broken off. lol

4 of my buddies went tonight, Said it was an OK night!
None of them were happy with their times though. I guess traction was the biggest issue.
Go figure, ORP and NO Traction!
