Hmmm...not a stock motor by any means :rick:
So I slowly let her crawl out of the work bay and hit the street, dropped her in first and tap the gas to burp her a little.
Got back out and told them we need to push it back in and anyone who drove that thing was a fool unless they fabricated a full frame under it. They refused so I told the owner to go eat a dick for trying to kill me.
He had a friend take it for a spinn and the car seperated at midpoint in the chassis with the cage in it at 30mph on the street. Luckily no one was injured but it could have been ugly real fast.
There was a hatch on ebay like 3 weeks ago with a 350 in it. It was teal with a blower sticking out of the hood. It was sold as is because the frame was twisted a little. Spent all the time figuring how to get it in there and didn't compensate for the torque.
