Yeah stock block for the win! Better put on the supercharger before the ring, or else your bank account will be depleted by purses and shoes instead of fire breathing v8 parts. Beat her to the punch

LMAO! That's great! Something you can do though is buy a loose stone & have it mated with a setting. That's what my frugal self did. Got a 1C almost perfect stone in a 6 prong setting for $1300. Would have been about twice or more at a jeweler.

We're pretty well on understanding grounds. Here things will be her money, mine will be mine. Ours will be split. And yes, she knows about this and thinks its stupid. I told her I could buy a truck for 15-20 or put 5-7 in this one and the rest could go towards a house....dazzling her with math didnt work but she still doesn't mind. But seriously I would rather put some money into this truck and keep it another 5-10 years and have left over cash to pay off student loans or to go towards a house.
T We both have our Hobbies. I'll try the O-ring trick and if you don't here any updates, you'll know what happened lol

Sniff....sniff... smells like trouble for jferg92! If you'd like, you could send your blower parts to me to keep in my "garage" for concealment. Cough cough

Edit:: I'll also clean them up and field test them for ya. You know, for quality assurance.

Let the bulletproofing commence! Wait not until June 23. I'll be gone and off the boards for two weeks for military vacation. Got all the parts ready though. Wish me luck haha.
