Anthony thanks you for your useful post.

If I haven't stated it already, where or not I bring the FD will depend heavily on the weather, and/or my mood that day. I cannot afford to get caught in ANY kind of precipitation with my R compound 285's (Nitto 555R's). Aside from the fact that they're getting worn down, even brand new they are not designed for ANY kind of wet weather. Even going 45 is terrifying.

If I don't bring the car, I'll be riding down with Ant.

Towing isn't an option, unfortunately. The 2nd gen is wrecked (not by me, long story, it's getting fixed), and the 1G is not on the road.

Westpalm, what the hell is wrong with you? If you dont make it to flyrtle cause you cant sell a few parts cause your too lazy to replace a head gasket everyone including I will be very dissapointed in showing up.

What makes you sure another j/y motor will be strait? How is pulling 2 motors, transporting and installing just one not to mention paying for another and returning one for a core easier/cheaper then ordering $30 ebay gasket set and doing a timing belt job? Are you litterly afraid of pulling your valve covers?

Pull the heads, inspect for cracking, put gaskets, and drive away with the same tune you started with Jeeezzus, it's like your an assembly line machine programmed to do 1 job to this car. Talk to me bro, I will guide you.

You guys just need to worry about yourselves showing up, I'm the one building the Flyrtle car, not Sean, it's ready to go. He had a financial setback to attend to. Junkyard Jesus has been built with pennies and spare parts and is in 100% running condition and ready for Flyrtle.

And Mac1, you may want to chill out with all your advice, your shadetree speedshop doesn't exactly put out numbers to brag about.

Andy pulled the heads and installed a new hg. Guess what?? The heads were wrapped . Me and Andy pulled another motor and we are all good. Just a few more things and a bath and were off. As Andy said I'm out of funds. With the car and the move and the money I need to be able to attend flyrtle I'm done. Andy was nice enough to cover he 206.00 I needed to get the motor. It's not that Andy didn't want to change the hg bc he did and we needed to get a new one. However I sold some of the things and Andy will get his money back. I figured my funds would covers this project when we 1st started but I didn't know I had to move until last month. Paying 1st , security , and move in cost hit my pocket hard. Let alone paying 1200 for the one apt I'm in for aug and the other one that was 1002. I'm thankful I still have enou to even attend. And again that's only thanks to Andy! on a side note my new place is cheaper and I get a decent size garage .

My car will more than likely NOT be making this trip. Got the new trans installed and it was running like a champ, but now it has developed some kind of nasty stutter under boost. I was hoping it was bad gas, but I'm not sure just yet...

The only other thing that could have happened is that I pinched my SS braided fuel line while installing the trans. I noticed that when I rolled on the throttle in 3rd this morning I saw 10.3 on the WB...definitely way too rich...and NOTHING else has changed, with the exception of pinching that fuel line. HOPEFULLY it's just the restricted line causing excess pressure, and delivering too much fuel. I'm going to rip off the manifold tonight to get the braided line out and see if I can replace it.... It's going to be tight, since I go out of town very soon, and am gone all the way up until Thursday night, 8/23.

Edit :: To clarify, I will be making this trip regardless. If I don't get my car going, I'll be riding down with Ant.
