I found this on the why not fab forums..........
that sucks but i got a better story - a friend of mine named lucas was comeing down here from camp lajune north caralina for spring fling and his car decided it wasent gonna work so it broke(by the way his cars name is broken which it allways is) He lost a cilinder so he was running on 7 pistons instead of 8. He rebuild it a couple of times comeing down here with basic hand tools. He got a speeding ticket and sideswiped. While down here the car broke more he had lifters and rods bent and he fixed them. He ended rebuilding the block like 15 times at least. he fixed one thing and them a nother broke. Last thing that broke was his water pump so there went a nother front of the block rebuild and then the timeing was not right so they had to adjust the distributer and thats a pain on a comero because there is no room and its on the camshaft (gay). But in the end he did not make it to spring fling because of his car and he was entered to show
