I do have the spare cobra motor i could just throw right into the car but then i have to trust that the guy i bought it from said it was in good shape. Throwing in a new motor isn't really an easy job especially when i have to remove all the turbo stuff. So i mean should i chance it? There's no way to check compression with a pulled motor is there? I sure have the time to do it all but i'd rather not waste my time. I guess I could pull the oil pan off to check the cylinders and do the head gaskets on the cobra motor. I could also slap on the rpm heads on it too.

On a side note, if i can get a good price for my trans-am and get my tax return i should have $4-5k to play around with. There's a built dart block but then i gotta consider the trans toast among other things. Hmm too many choices. I'm sure 450 rwhp would suit me for a while. I should put 1-2 right into my savings. Who knows, it still needs paint and wheels but getting it running should be top priority.

I guess once i open up the cobra motor and take plenty of pics, you guys can examine Even though my dad is hardcore into motors and what he says is right. (He thinks i should do a forged crank even though the cast one will handle more than the block) I guess I should mention that more, he'll help me rebuild a motor. I don't want to open it up until i can put it in the garage unless i coat everything in oil and wrap it up.

It seems i'm all over the place on this post lol i'm just trying to gather it all up.

They why did you buy this motor... When you posted the thread about buying it i suggested rebuilding your old one... If you bought a motor that you dont think you can trust... You should i just rebuilt your bottom end to begin with... Hell i even offered you my bottom end for $100 months ago...

I pm'ed you about it and heard nothing... maybe it didn't go through. To answer your question, not sure, it gave me ambition that didn't last too long.
