COMET CENTRAL

Hey Pro, called Danbury Competition Engines & spoke to Joe. Turns out that he just built a motor for a friends project that he is no longer going to build. So this motor is now for sale. Don't have much info on it yet other than it's a 408 built to run on pump gas. Its claim to fame is that it has r...

Hey Pro, how about letting me put that motor in my car

Haven't called competeion engines yet. Fred your right. Always some negative stuff on everyone. I just get cold feet when it comes to spending my hard earned cash. But I have to make my mind up soon or I'll never finish.

Hey pro, still out of work. Wife has me doing a lot of house projects. Can't wait to see pictures of your progress. I still can't decide where to get my long block. Everytime I find a shop, I find some negative post on the web about them. I would hate to get burned.

Been busy working on everything but the comet. Had some time to weld a patch over the rt fr torque box.

Hey Pro, the bad economy finally caught up with my job. Got laid off two weeks ago. Nothing but time and no money. Right now I'm keeping busy working on the car with the stuff I already have. The money I have saved for the motor might be spent for survival. And the wife might make me live in the ten...
