my 240's beginning
in the beginning i started with this...
here is where i stand today...
a long road to go but i want to have it running by the end of the month... i have another parts car in the back yard that is donating its vital parts for the cause... well at least till the machine shop that is doing my work on the motor comes to get it...

the motor is still running and i have put 120 miles on it so far... i have a very short drive to work every day... i am keeping the car an auto... i am 36 years old with 100 years of abuse to my knees... so an auto is the best choice for me... when i bought the car it had a rod knock... so i decided to rebuild it... then found other issues and decided to go for a total na rebuild of the motor... and 3900 bucks later we will see if i have reached my goal of 250 whp...
