When Life Gives You Lemons,You Go Buy Parts For Your Car

[Al K]

...Works for me...

Well,without getting whiney-if I ever do guys,tell me to STFU-I've got some serious crap going on. More than I had expected. But...that's not why we're here. When the feces hits the fan,a road trip is in order. In this case,it was a trip to my buds at Mancini Racing. Wanted to match up the stainless valves that came with my lone Stage V head;also needed some other goodies. After getting Outlaw525's intake sent off(he bought my Indy intake-thanks),I hit the madness that is I-75 and then M-59. You Detroit guys know what I speak of;howindahell do you guys do it more than I do and not lose your mind? Since I haven't been down there in about a year,I had to hit the memory banks to get there. Missed a couple of turns,but made it. And purchased...

Nice new Mancini stainless 2.14"/1.81" valves,some steel retainers and 10 degree locks. Ain't they purdy? Functional,too. Also took my used Comp Cams XE274(274/268,230/[email protected]",.488"/.491") cam for an opinion on its goodness,and they said it looked just fine,and that I had made a good choice for what I want to build. I LIKE hearing stuff like that! Took my mind off the other crap for a bit-and the time and money spent was worth every bit.

Buying parts for your Mopar as therapy? Sounds good to me!

It's like chocolate cake to a fat chick.

Think of it as comfort parts. :wtg:

Very nice stuff there. Glad you made it back in one piece, the potholes are getting ridiculous around here.

V.O. and 7-up. Out. Nose. Worth it.

440+6;they repaved a lot of I-75 not long ago,and M-59 is cement in good shape. It's Van Dyke,Utica,14 Mile,Groesback and even Kelly where the shop is that flat out suck. As bad as what I see-er,bounce over-here in the Flint area. Almost had a bender on G-beck as another driver and myself had to swerve to miss craters-and had to head towards each other to do so. Yikes!
