Your build thread sucks

Wow...
 
That guy has some serious recources!
:smokin:
 
I need to find out where this junkyard he gets his parts from is! Junkyard 400i V12? Really?

He probably spent more on just that engine than we do on a whole trail rig.
Unless I scanned past his purchase price.
 
I made it to page 4 and my head was spinning. Dude has serious dedication along with experience and knowledge.

The other thing which I admire most is a total lack of the word "can't" in his vocabulary.


As a welder though I cringed at the loss of strength in all the welded aluminum alloys. My head kept saying anealed.....softer......impending doom!
He addresses that some in the thread.

I didn't want to be a hater, but I was thinking the same thing.

I mean I guess he isn't expecting to get 250,000 miles out of it, but if it started losing coolant after 2 months I wouldn't be surprised either.

I also didn't read the whole thing, so..
 
I read a couple posts and decided that he has more time than I could ever comprehend.
 
My optimistic side says, "wow, he has gotten a lot of stuff done, and built his own frankin V-12"
My pessimistic side says "wow, 11 years of your life and you have a fast, less reliable than a regular Ferrari something-or-other"

expensive imports don't do it for me, but the fabrication and innovative problem solving is impressive, truly a jack of all trades.
 
After reading 4 pages, that guy is something else. You know when a couple posts in he is talking about machining his own custom cam shafts, he is on another level.

Your not eleven years in yet....and not building a rear engine pusher from a van down by the river
 
Dude doesn’t know can’t, but he did drop a valve seat page 11 or 12. Then had to remachine almost every bearing surface in that block go make it work again. Still dude is like I wanna make this work.
 
Am I the only one who reads the first couple pages on a build thread, then cuts to the end and works my way back to the beginning?

I blame my impatience.

Publicly commented build threads need a button on the top that skims you past all the dumb-ass comments and only give you commentary from the original poster. Ineveitably, there is that "one guy" (or maybe multiple guys) that say , "Just LS swap it" to everything and it spirals out of control from there.

Probably not. I know for a fact that’s the first time I’ve ever read your entire post. Normally a novel to answer a simple yes or no answer.

Congratulations, I guess?

I dunno.

Am I supposed to care? Are you trying to hurt my feelings? Is this relevant somehow?

So many questions, yet so little concern over the answers.

Not trying to hurt your feelings. I myself have a very short attention span and just can’t force myself to read long posts.
