This was the first engine I put in the car. I bought it from a friend, painted it, and put my accessories on. This engine was junk; it lasted 15 laps during practice, lost oil pressure, and was shooting oil out of the dipstick tube.

This is the car before I started building it. It is an early '80s Chevrolet Caprice Classic. I bought it already gutted.
