Yeah there are tons of mustangs around here. I think there are at least 10 in my squadron alone. There are quite a few 5th gen Camaros running around too. As for the drag strip, I've heard that there is one about 30 minutes off base. I might check it out next weekend.

Yup, all by myself. Hey Sheik it turned out that my converter is okay, my Y-pipe bolts came loose and fell off. Also I'm not selling the Beast, but a turbo is in the works as we speak.

I have a B&M 2400 Holeshot torque converter F/S. It was installed in my car for two months while my ATI converter was being rebuilt. This converter never seen the drag strip and never been street raced. Like I said it was used as a back up converter until my ATI got back. I'm asking $250 OBO plus shipping. Here is the PN at Summit Racing: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-70419/

Well should be home on the 15 or 16. Right now they are saying Germany will be the next teach. Oct, something until dec. 15. Girlfriend moves to b'ham this weekend I believe. Going to buy parts for the next motor from here on out. I'm going to try and have enough money saved after reilly to build a long block. Going to be hard but got to try.
