**UPDATE: March 2008**
MOTOR BLOWN!
Coming home one night on the highway, starting hearing a ticking noise from the motor, and a cloud of smoke started to appear from behind. Car started to slow, and the noise got louder.
She completly shut down and started to fill with smoke and fire.
I opened the hood to a massacre. The motor was done, all oil/water in the motor had dissapeared from the trip. To this day i am not sure why, but shes done.
The 318 was torn apart, to find it was seized into one big block of metal.
Shes off the road now, its been weeks without her, but is at a shop as Im writing this being brought back to life.
New heart will be implanted. Rumour from my mechanic he has a line on a 340.
Will this be a new beginning for my girl?

Man that sucks but you know sometimes thats what it takes to upgrade. Good luck with the 340, primer is always bone chilling. -Justin

If you really wanted something cool.... drop in a Slant 6. You can build them, and they will stomp some V8s pretty good. Check out my 71 4 door if you would like to see a slant 6 in one.
