Well I blew a head gasket because the PO rebuilt the engine but left a small piece of rag in the engine when he rebuilt it and it got caught in a coolant passage. Its my first time rebuilding an engine and was a lot of fun. I upgraded the intake and added roller rockers as well as installed the side pipes too

You're really getting someplace now! Car looks much better in the video than it does in the signature!
