Title: lousy day

This am I went up to my buddies shop where we had just finished work on the Pinto.  He told me on the test drive it blew a rod through the side of the block.  This was supposed to be a "blueprinted" motor with "good" parts.  Frustrated at the people who lied as I saw pieces of cast pistons. I guess i am not the first person to get lied to. >:(

So now i start searching for a either a short block or a long turbo bock to buy.  We were so close togetting it out on the street.  Such is life.
