[PIC] Gas Prices Fiasco
haha, i saw this picture on canada.com and thought i'd put a caption to it ... 
i know i know, it affects us all, and in a way we're probably getting more owned since most of us buy 94 octane gas (which is usually 12 cents above the display) but i dunno, it's still kinda funny pic

Looks like i'm going to ask Sunoco to sponsor me

Rep Power: 724 Ah doesn't matter what I drive, have been around for years and always lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it whether it be parts or actual work or whatever. Anyways yeah its a fully built 3400 3.4 from an '04 Impala with 400 miles from the yard. Completely disassembled her and just waiting on a few parts so I can put it all together and drive the car. Cam just came back last week. Just a few pics here, lots more work done. I had the 3.1 last year fed by Vortech that I dropped in a couple of years ago as well as changing it over to 5spd a couple of years ago as well. Good motor I built then, Some of the older guys might of remember the first swap from the old Costco meets. I sold it to a guy in the states and since then has got it running and is enjoying it. Motor when I brought her home
Shortblock awaiting for parts before being taken apart
Custom roller cam
Btw Sorry for jacking this thread

Nah no time for clubbing in a while, too much work and getting cars and engines ready for the season. But yeah she is going into the cav, it'll be the quickest setup yet that hs been in the car. Can't wait to bring the car out so I can drive it, I was chilling at a timmies last night and talking to a few people almost made me puke by the massive amount of bs they were talking. Oh yeah I couldn't care less if anyone dislikes pushrod engines, GM, etc, Anyways good luck with everyone's projects, should be a fun year

For sure man haven't seen your car in a while, But yeah she's coming together, the entire delay has been from Wiseco who now won't be shipping the pistons until next week or if shipping is a bitch I'll head down there and get them myself as they are only in north east Ohio which is a 4 hour drive (almost same spot as the yard that I bought my engine from) So she'll be out in less than a couple of weeks, can't wait to hear how she sounds this time
