I mean......I'm just tryin to understand. You have pretty much a runnin car now. It may not now, but it did when you got it, because I heard it run over the phone. It may have some problems to work out, but it's closer to a DD than a twin turbo slant. I think switching to such a different gear will prolong your project even more, but it's your project. Since you've moved in with your dad, it does not seem like the emergency situation it once was for you to get it running, so either you have other transportation now, or someone is haulin you around everywhere. All I'm gettin at is what you've been sayin all along. And that has been to get somethin runnin ASAP. Evidently, that's changed if you're talkin about a twin turbo slant. Plus, all these great people on this site (myself included) gave you a ton of parts for a different car other than what you now have, and with the intentions of it being a V8, those parts are for such. So now I guess you want slant 6 parts? All I know is, if a bunch of strangers went to the trouble to give me a "fuckton" of stuff as you would say, I would be doing everything in my power to get it built just to show my grattitude, instead of being all over the radar with no compass. I have changed my mind on my own build numerous times, but in your case, people have a vested interest because they have been kind enough to donate parts to you, the time to get them out, box them up take them to the PO and pay the money to send your way. I don't know what that running total is, but I bet it's not small. I gave you a Thermoquad Superquad that I paid over 200 bucks for, plus an Edelbrock Performer for a small block that I talked a friend into giving you that you've never met. Those are around 200 new. There's 400 bucks worth right there, plus the pile of stuff you have here people have sent here because your original plans included buying the car Bruce has and bringing it 50 miles to me for me to help you build it. Then you get this other car. And now you're wanting ditch the V8 and go with a slant. I can't speak for the rest of our members, but I'm not ready to donate a bunch of slant parts. Lastly, I have not really said anything about this, but since I laid all the rest out there, I'm gonna say this. I have all of these parts that people sent. They gave them to you. They are yours to do with as you please, as far as I'm concerned up to and including what I gave you. When I give somebody somethin, I give it to um. I even got accused of bein shady in all this by another member at your expense, remember that? We worked through it because I know he meant no harm and was only trying to look out for everyone's best interest. I can understand that because I was a total stranger in all this. But I am tellin all the members here and now that every single part that was sent to me or that I went out of my way to pick up for Mike is still here and still intended for Mike. Mike, a lot of people have gone way outta their way and above and beyond for you to help a young gun. I think it's time to man up, make your mind up and do something with it.
