    bad news for my car.
    bottom end is knocking really bad now.
    due to burnouts.
    it was worth it tho lol

    going to be going for a rebuild soon.
    383
    but first i need money lol
    then taking engine out again and rebuilding it.
    plans so far is 383 stroker then a T56 gearbox with a rebuilt locked diff with either 3.7's or 3.9's.
    then maybe a supercharger along the way

    wasnt planning on rebuilding it this soon but i have no option.
    shes not going to survive much longer
