the new shitbox i have to fixup

[Turbocharged400sbc]

drove it 227 miles from greencastle IN to hanover....with no brakes

well i cant say that i jerry rigged the parking brake release so i could use it to stop...about halfway the LR cable unfroze and i had both rears working again...and downshifting with the autostick helped alot!

132k and it's been sitting for almost two years....threw a battery in it and shortly after blew the brake lines lol

meh it's worth the 25$ it cost....

came complete with garbage and 2 year old candy bars...the rolo's were still good!:yumyum:

God I would be a nervous wreck if I didn't have brakes. I didn't have brakes on my Acclaim once because all the fluid leaked out. I was too scared to drive it.

why do they mount those engines longitudinaly when they are FWD?

Have fun working on that. I replaced a timing chain and waterpump on one, and I was close to slitting my wrists that I even accepted the work.

They do that to distribute the power to the wheels more evenly. They use cv shafts that are the same size. It is supposed to reduce torque steer I think.
