i haven't been on much since my last couple of weeks have been action packed. lol turns out i blew a seal in my 62mm turbo. so i had to take my turbo off since my motor doesn't run well on oil. the turbo is being rebuilt. the exhaust sounds really funky with just the turbine housing on. at first i thought i had a bad ring in one rear cylinder, but we've come to be suspicious that i may actually have cracked my block. i am having to change the plug every other day. lol i guess it's about time. i'm kinda surprised it didn't happen sooner. 675 hp through a 142k mile stock 302 block is pretty f'in amazing in my opinion. cracked and all, i think i'm gonna goldplate my block and make a coffee table out of it or something. lol so anyways, on to the good stuff. my new 66 mm turbo should be arriving today. my new 363 ci dart block should be here in a few weeks. i hope my motor can hold on that long. i can't wait to dig into it to see what has actually happened. i kinda hope that the block did crack and that it isn't something like a ring. what a way to go!
