Sweet thanks! I’ll send him a message!

Thanks! Where would you recommend I source the motor? Jegs has a reman for 3600. But that is a bit outta budget

So it finally happened. My daily driver speed had an engine failure. Rings aligned on cylinder 1. At 176k of hard driving the baby finally had enough… Or so it thought Forced to get another daily driver, and unwilling to sell I am now in the position to dedicate panda to the art of racing. And...
