It started back up and started ticking. it got louder and louder then it finally popped and smoke went everywhere. When it popped i was going about 50 in 5th gear. it has 119,xxx on it and it was an ls motor. i have also thought about getting a cheap ls motor and building it for turbo. I cant decide but i need to because i need it running asap.
85 in third gear! thats beyond redline in my car....but yeah good luck with the new setup, just buy a longblock for now so you dont have to pay for an extra transmission until later on.
