leave me and my stupid header alone.

_________________

I finnally got the friggin header on! Its amazing how good header bolts do when they arnt stripped out! Its also been a pain because the exhaust is hooked up and it makes the header move in a different spot and its hard to make it perfect to get every single bolt in the head. I was stuck on that last bolt for like 20 min!

_________________

it runs and drives now. and it hasnt leaked a drop of tranny fluid!!! now all that left to do is adjust the shifter, and solve a bad detonation problem. other than that it runs and drive SOOOOO good now.

speaking of the drag car....i beleive i saw it this weekend....good show!!!

i now know a lil more about all that shit when you would talk about the high school drags

and that guy with the grey newer luv..or pup whatever....well it was awesome, ran a lot faster than i thought it would...awesome



did you guys get a chance to see that other v8 luv..i think it was from borah?!? ....maybe, i cant remember, but it ran 14's

it was a fun time

i am sure i saw all of you there...but you guys were all over the place and i don't know who the hell was who...... who is the one with the long ass hair again?!?

UPDATE

I did end up going with a new tranny. It is a stock th350 I got for $80. I had no idea that it would work or not. Well I put it in and sure enough the tranny works like a charm. It shifts really solid, doesn't slip at all, and NO LEAKS. It'll roast the tires 1st-2nd-3rd and get completly sideways no problem. I still can't belive what a non slipping tranny did to my gas milage, speed and acceleration, and the tranny heat issue.

Are you shure the '81 Luv wasn't flat black. If it is that would be Cody's, he went to Caldwell High with me and farmertard. I dont know who the guy with the long hair you are talking about its.

_________________

well it looked dark grey... but yeah black is probably what he is going for.

but anyways. maybe ill see ya out there ext year for the races. ill probably be racing the schools car full time next year. you should get a v8 in your luv and get it out to the track!! LOL

and heck yes..i am sure i saw you this year..i just dont know who you are..so i dont know who i am looking for

but yeah a V8 luv shouldnt be too far fetched for next year..once wrestling is over and i am working again, i should be able to move fairly quick

My stocker is actin up, so maybe it'll die before too long and there'll be another v8 luv here...

So was the overdrive trans. bad to start with or was the v8 to much for it and destroyed it? I love the idea of a v8 luv with an overdrive for the freeway mileage.

OK, I'm over it. Where's the beer?

yeah, it was bad when we bought it. the person thta had it before lee had it hooked up to a full roller 327 in a conquest. the tranny guy that lee took it to said that the input clutches were burnt up, and that the reason it was puking the tranny fluid from the vent.

but it did do great on the freeway though. we could do 80 at 2000rpm. it was sweet.

I still wish I had that 2004R. The whole way here to wyoming i was going 3500 at like 85. Used a lot of gas!
