About “Beast”

I brought this car almost 2yrs ago and I loved it the moment I saw it.The day I drove it home from the dealer I was so scared cause it was my first v8 and my first manual trans.For the first week I was doing a lot of cruising and constant drooling over the car until one day on my way to a I noticed the temp started to creep up so I quickly shut it off and went to pay for the gas. About time i got out I saw antifreeze all on the ground...me being a rookie didn't think to much about it other then it being too much coolant in the system. So as I pulled away (lika dummy) the temp went up! I drove as fast as I could to get back home and before I did the cars power was steadily dropping and I was like oh sh8t! When I got it to my driveway it overheated. The result cracked heads, leaky radiator..Currently I pulled the motor cause it chewed up the crank bearings so its time to build my 383 and hope I can get my rear mount twin turbo going too!
