Ok, I think that I will, could I put my GT40 heads on that 351? I may be interested in getting it, when I have the money of course. I'll call you after school today, I still have your number.

Ethan, The GT40 heads will work, but they would have to be drilled out for 1/2" studs/bolts. Very easy to do.

You could just do it at the install party on Saturday. I definately agree with all these guys. I dont understand why you are dancing around the problem and even still racing the car. If you truely love you stang, dont go cheap on it and listen to these guys. Which it looks like you are doing that so good for you. Good luck.

Hey, I think that I have enough money available for whatever I might need, it was going to go toward a new computer, but my Stang comes first!!

Lol, I told my dad about the engine last night, and this morning he told me that it might just be a ring, to which I replied, "I don't know dad, they could've messed up the diameter of the bore a bit and you can't fix something like that". Then he looked at me accusingly and said, "Yeah you hope that it's that bad", and smirked.

Here is a quote for everyone. I have already been through this. :)

An excellent quote from Jay Allen: "Good. Fast. Cheap.

You can only have two of the three.

Good and Fast ain't cheap.
Fast and Cheap ain't good.
Cheap and Good ain't fast."

I know where your standing we all do we all been there and done that you know. Just step out of the light for a min and liston to everyone. If I was going to get advice this is where I want to get it is from friends who care about you and dont want you to waste your money. In the long run it will be worth it bro. Like orange said start with a 302 or 351 you can find them all day long. With all the gear heads in the club the most expensive parts will be prepping the block. You need to sit down with orange tell him your budget and write down what the two of you come up with to show your dad. He sem reasonable. If it where me I would say screw the computer and do the build. You can always use the library to find out about up coming events on forum....

Lol, actually, my mom just got a faster computer anyways, I'll just play all of the games that are too fast for my compuer on hers. And you are right, my dad is very reasonably, he said that all of the money that was going to go to my computer, I could use for my car.
