hey everyone i got my engine in finally. I did decide on a 350 .. apparantly its a 101 4 bolt main .. im not entirely sure what that means but my friend says its an awesome engine. anyways while we had it on the cherry picker with the tranny hooked up to it we had it angled with some chain to drip some tranny fluid out and i had my hand on the chain. When suddenly the chain slipped a few notches and caught my right middle finger between them. anyone ever ferlt the whight of a 350 come crushing down on thier finger ? then you will know the pain i felt .. i yanked my finger out i didnt quite crush it but still today my finger hurts and is kinda purple on the tip of it anyways next up is looking for an exhaust shouldent be hard im running dual straight pipes from front to back. and after that i need a set of wheel sand then boom baby shes ready to go !

Did you ever see the movie "Christine"? The auto worker has his fingers crushed (severed?) by the demonic car. It was all downhill from there. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
