new engine

so, when i built my HO last year, i unknowingly used a bad oil pump. it took until now to start knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door. long story short, i found a 5.0 HO with e7te's and a separate typhoon intake and computer and the guy selling it was willing to help me with the swap (because firestone is half-assed and won't let me do it there) and is even letting me make payments... 950 total! i'd have to say i got a great deal. i threw on the bbk's and we cranked her up...
fired right up on the first try. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

didn't take any pics... it was messy though. lol. i gotta go back and get my gt40ps and accessories friday. the guy's swapping the 5.0 for an ls1. it's not what i would do, but very respectable and different nonetheless.

If you ever need any help, look me up, I'm in SA.  Good luck with the HO.

I am almost ready to drop in the 302 I just built.  Still looking for a better intake though.

same here... if i'm not working like a dog as usual. i have the typhoon intake and i'm not sentimentally attached to it or anything if you want it. it's never been installed afaik.

Might be interested.  PM Me a price.  I will be in corpus this weekend but I'm always up for a ride to Austin.
