Would be the last thing that mf would bite! It would be an assassinated bug.

Really. 2010 SRT8 6 speed. Bought it for less than $10 We have about $15 in it. It only needed a drivers fender and front bumper cover as far as painted items. Oil pan, radiator/coolers, drivers front suspension, 2 wheels and tires, windshield, dash, reset the seat belt retractors. etc.
Nice find
Had some conversations with a couple of buddies not long ago about the horsepower and responsiveness you can drive off a showroom floor today with ZERO training or understanding.
As we say...it's easier to rework things when your mean-time-to-failure approaches zero....
Well still + so I officially dont have to fly to Mexico on Sunday.
I get to move several motors and get set to drop the 360 mag into the swinger.
If stuff works out right I may even stab another engine/4speed combo as well in the coming days.
Another vehicle leaving my property. 99 ish ranger. Was going to haul it for scrap, but ran when parked. Buddy wants to put powertrain into an old mustang. 4.0 v6. So we give it a snort of gas and it fired right up.
This weekend i will be working on yard cleanup. And level slab at my back door. It slopes towards house. Rain water finds its way into basement there.
He may try to make it down to Hershey if I can get everything pulled off the car by then.
Having a day job is so annoying sometimes.
Grading around the house is a PITA but a necessary evil.
Tell me about it... My son and I are in middle of removing the exhaust manifolds on our 440 Road Runner...
And if you have to go to the bathroom, mention my name and they'll give you a good seat....

While I was healing up from eye injury I got the chance to put the Demon on the dyno for final fuel mapping refinement. The race shop I use runs a Mustang Dyno, notorious for being stingy with torque numbers. At 5200 rpm (6.1 Hemi) I am at 452 HP at the tire and still well north of 400 on torque. I about peed down my leg listening to them wind her up. My idle is still a bit high as a result of a vacuum leak I need to chase down. But man she runs! Holy Smokes. Well pleased
