Just finshed rebuilding my 351 AGAIN lol.
Plans are just get it back together and running and beat out of it all winter.

How many people use a 351 with 5 speed and spool as a winter beater. Hell i will leave the 2 bottles in the trunk too

Hell, I have a 3-car here at home but there's so much ed stuff in it that even if I clean up the junk I won't be able to pull the bird all the way in. There's two other cars in there that can't really be moved without extensive work.

Sir, you probably pull your motor in and out more times in a year than some of us do in a lifetime.

I wish I had a garage, period. Doing all your car work on a gravel/dirt driveway sucks.

This year has been a bad your for me.
Started off in feb when cougar got wrote off and swaped eveything into the T bird. But worse part was being sore from crash then pulling an all nighter with buddys a week after crash to take apart the cougar.

Dont know what was worse being hurt or pissed off that after i got the car to were i liked it then to gut it and s it.
The T bird was faster car right off the bat but it still was not same.

I will be happy when i have TC ready.
I might even keep the T bird or might drop motor and everything else in a stang, Not sure what i will do yet.
