Hey Xavier, where can you get a complete engine for $500-600? Let me know bro. I cracked my head racing a Mercedes SL600 and that dick couldn't lose me coming down the 15 freeway at 125mph. We ran side by side for over a mile. I do have a XS Engineering Turbo kit and was running about 8psi.

I figured getting the head replaced was not a great investment in the labor costs alone, so since I have 150K miles on the car, might as well rebuild it or like you said, get a new complete engine.

Any assistance is appreciated.

hey, Jays240

cuz im in ontario too and i was wondering if that was u.
i've also seen a black s14 97-98, unless u switched headlights, i don't think that was u.

Hey Racer, actually my 240 is Blue Emerald in color and is stock looking except for my Apex GT Spec exhaust sticking out the back. I call my car Sandman cause it's a sleeper like a you know what. I've had many a puzzled look when guys I've beat on the 10, 60 or 15 freeways watch me pass them by. It's classic.

As soon as I get back to speed I'l be back on the attack. I've seen that black 97 or 98 240 before driving down Mountain Ave near the 10 but as I pulled up, he didn't even look. He took off at the light slower than my grandma would in her walker. Guess he's not a racer. Hasta. :cool:
