    Let me know when its in and if you need any help with it! I like getting projects going!

      well, the intake is in. Have to dig the cam out and see if it got rusty. Then to order gaskets. I can actually see the box the cam is in from here, but its soooooo far away. It would also require I get off my fat ass and fetch it.

          Something tells me the place where this event happens can probably handle most any repairs your TownCar may need... Just sayin'

              I do recall a certain valve seal incident at SF 2011, with a certain '93 vic. I don't imagine I could have much worse luck than that.

                  That car did eventually leave under it's own power and make it back to Texas though. Its still working too.

                    Working well I might add. And it may show up again this year to show up everything less than a Marauder at the strip.

                        Its OK. I'll have the wiring harness back on my car by then, so I can tow it home from the track if it blows up
