Maybe he'll like the idea of you two building a engine together. Then when your older you'll have your 302 and a good trans ready to go into it. Maybe ask him to take you out to a track when it's completed so he can show you how to drive it. I was 13 when my dad was teaching me how to drive, launch, drift and brake. Good old parking lots at night/morning.
thought about it. but it would be better i get a block first and go from there i would need a engine stand though. where can i get them and who has the best deal on one?
there re parking lots but they all have to much stuff in them lol to many poles and crap. and walmarts parking lot they have a guy in a ranger patrolling it 24/7 so my best luck is to go back to piqua to the old high school. they have a access road that's about good distance long maybe a 1/4 mile that he is going to take me first. i have only drove my car twice. on the way back from buying it. i was scared to death too. it was making a lot of noise from the right rear and the brakes were really touchy. not so much the throttle . and then the 2nd time well. don't want to talk about it. ive got to drive my dads a couple times too. his is much more fun. its got the 5.0 and 5 speed . but throttle was touchy to me and even more so the clutch
were taking the jet skies and to boat to the lake this weekend and it sa 2 hour drive so were taking the jeep to tow the boat with and the jet skies are already at the lake. and i have talked him into taking my car so that i can drive it part way there. alot of back roads
as for the 5.0 build up how should i ask him about it
he knows when every i want something cause i will follow him around for 10 mins or so then ask him and by that time he already knows what i want. don't know how but he dose.
so how should i ask him?
thanks for the help
