when you say power steering pump... you mean the hydroboost system? because that would be the only reason why your brakes would fail. the power steering pump is not connected to the brakes.

A line coming off my PS steering pump came off and drained all my fluid and I lost the power brakes along with power steering.

It was an interesting drive home, thats for sure haha.

Good numbers OP, should be 13s all day now

Nope, first pass the motor spun a bearing and seized the block. Who wants parts? Parting it out then selling the shell.

Wait what ? After all of this work the motor took a crap on you ? Jesus Christ man that has to suck. So are u getting a PI engine now or what ?

I wish it was man, but no... She is toast. Gonna just cut my losses as much as I don't want to. Sell off what I can and send the rest to the junkyard

Damn bro that really blows.
I'd be glad to buy some of the parts off you to help you regain some money.

The intake manifold you got from the towncar, would it happen to be the PI/aluminum crossover one?

I know the towncars have the same modular motor as our cars, just not too sure on the specs/details.

Yeah, it's got an aluminum crossover. Car's still out in SD right now, but I'm picking it up in the morning. I can pull the cams and have them inspected if anyone might be interested

Just lemme know if you wanna end up selling the intake manifold.
I'll take that with the plenum as a combo right off your hands unless you plan on keeping them.

What can ya do, all part of the game I suppose. Just sucks it happened the day after the dyno so I couldn't even see what it'd do. More than likely have a buyer for the whole car, trying to get him to meet me at 2500 (he offered 2100) and then parting ways

Well GT is gone... Was bittersweet, but things I think worked out in my favor. Threw around the idea of going to an LS1 platform, but opted to stick with a New Edge cause I love the cars so damn much. Soooooo
