She's running again....

......after that nice breakdown in Apache Junction! thx to Dallis for stickin with me until the creepy tow guy came. Got it running Tuesday night and sounds good.

Why the car died:
I was leaking coolant into my oil due to head lift and the stock head bolts streched which then resulted in warpage because the motor got so hot with the coolant leaking out. I got the head milled and ARP head studs, new headgasket, intake manifold gasket and Crower valve spring/retainers. Car is running ok but I need to tune it STILL. damn me.

Can't wait for the next meet, maybe I won't breakdown
The Tortilla Flats owned me Here's some pics if you want to see the installed parts.

I wish I knew but I don't know. Probably close around the 200+ range once properly tuned. Maybe?
