![]() To not clutter up this thread with too much Fairmont content I hyperlinked the Fairmont build in my signature if anyone is interested in it!

![]() Maybe! But I'm not going to test that theory, my friend that has been coming by to help out with the engine thinks we should do a shoot out at the drag strip with both cars. It would be really fun and maybe it could happen some day. But I like the car in one piece

![]() So I found the issue with the gearstar.... They forgot to install a tone ring on the damn output drum so it doesn't register vss..... Great just ****ing great. Luckily I have a 8.8 and reconfigured Ms to run off the diff speed sensor. But man I am so pissed at gearstar, they don't know that I solved the issue but they are scrambling to make me happy, so at least there is that

![]() Whelp I ended up torching the head on my 244 I've been beating the piss out of it for a few weeks and I think I had the head lift on me. So I ordered new heads, intake, cam and springs. More fun coming. Also hoping to finish up my Fairmont today so that will be fun

![]() No Volvo updates so far. However I do have some exciting other news. Just finished doing some street tuning on my Fairmont. Thursday I found that the car had no compression in number 5 and I pulled the head and found that a bolt had fallen in the intake and punched a hole in the piston and destroyed the head. So I grabbed another cylinder head and over nighted a used rod and piston from a flat top 5.3 and slammed it in on Saturday and had it running that evening. Here is the final look of the car.
