Default Things that I hate about my car.....

  • a 2 week motor swap turning into a 6 month swap
  • going 2K in debt to build this thing
  • not having it done before the track closes down for the winter
  • fogeting to put the oil pump drive shaft in untill the motor is already in
  • jacking the motor back up, dropping the pan, and putting in the oil pump drive shaft
  • I get it back together and the rear main leaks
  • not to mention the oil pan
  • oil all over the bottom of the car
  • I had to weld a dip stick tube into my pan so I could have a dip-stick
  • I broke it off installing the headers
  • all that crap about BBK quality was a load of horse ****
  • it runs great for a week then colapses a lifter, taking out some chrome-molly pushrods and a roller rocker
  • taking the distributor out only to hear the sound of my oil pump drive shaft falling into the pan.
  • the realization tht I put my oil pump drive shaft in upside down (DOH!!!!)
  • c-clip breaks, axle comes out going down the road
  • putting in a new axle in at 1am when it's 15* outside
  • 3 of the new 3" Moroso studs strip out
  • the fact that one stud is stripped in the back at the splines and is just spinning in the axle




Oh well.........it'll all be worth it when I drop the hammer next week at the track. Unless it breaks
