Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap

I aim for 270-ish at the track. Also, 250-ish on a stock 1.8 bottom end is fine, I did it for years.
You have two full BP6Ds, right? Can you make one good one out of the parts of the two? One needs rings? What's wrong with the other? (Yes, I know you don't want to do that right now, but I'm curious)

I have a t5 swap on my brain. Already have the spare 5 speed for the bell housing. @Monk should be bringing me one of those dirt cheap Midwest t5s this summer.

The expensive part for running 300 at the track isn't the rods and pistons -- it's the transmissions.

One is from the auction car. Cracked oil pan, oil pump, timing covers. But theoretically would run with those replaced. But i have no idea how long it ran after it was crashed.
Other one was pulled with what sounded like rod knock. I never heard it, so for all I know it could be something in the valve train. There was a video somewhere of it knocking though.

I haven't seen one on Craigslist in the last 3 months. They are rare. Saw a v8 go in hours.
I need a v6 box with a v8 input shaft. So if you have any blown v8 boxes out there too...
Let me do some v6 research.

Follow up on the speeding ticket at the end of march.
I had a diversion from last spring. I missed completing that by 14 days. So now I have 4 in 24 months. Which means suspended license from what I have read so far.
Maybe I'll save some money biking to work.

No. I have cops going in, but only the one set. I have reason to suspect one of the old coils is going bad.
I do have a "kit" for the cops, which is connectors and pins to make a harness, but I'd like to get mine up and running before I commit to selling.
