NThe old motor is the # matching from the car. It is now safely stored in the garage where I can't blow it up. LOL!!!

This is the 12.09 motor. I've just had these pics stored in my comp since July..

I got this together in 4 weeks, installed in the car the Sunday night before I left for Salem and the BPG Nationals on Wednesday. :doh:

Should probably just put the whole thing in a giant plastic bubble to display and clone out a lark to run.

No way man. There is nothing like a real muscle car getting thrashed at the track. No clones for me. :rock:

I kinda hope in a small way I don't come across a good deal on a numbers matching car. 1 I couldn't sell it. 2 I couldn't do what I want with it. 3 id have to restore it, ground up.

I gotta find that cheap plain jane lark first.
