The other things that I spend my money on.

Watch it now, I think there's a difference between laptop and desktop drives.
I think the laptop drives are 2 1/2" plates and 9mm high. Desktop drives are 3 1/4" plates and I think a 1/2" high. Some are even 5 1/4" inch plates.

Same with the memory, but you probably know that.

Yeah, and I have to put a slot-loader into this SOB. I hate slot loaders. Can't play a mini-disk, and no force eject button. If I get a CD jammed, I have to reboot the whole computer, and hold down the mouse button. Anyhow, there's this site that sells parts out of scrapped computers, so that's where I'd get mine from. Buy a drive out of the same model I have, and it's certain to fit.

Coool! What kind of motor?

Another thing that I'd like to sink money into.
I know I know, it's in Russia and I think that if I do get one I would have to buy it from there and ferry it across the ocean. Also parts would be a b***h.
This will probably be a 'if I won the lottery' kind of thing.

410ci Small block Mopar stroker. 4.00" Eagle crank, SCAT H-beam rods, Keith Black Pistons. Aiming for about 375hp on pump gas, 500ish on giggle gas. Gonna port and polish the stock cast iron heads, and run a somewhat nasty cam in it.

Ah, I'm not quite sure what's done to this one. I think it's pretty stock.

It's a 307, just a two barrel carb.
I want to get a 327 or a 350 for it.

Looks to be in great shape at least.

And you don't want a small block. Face it, deep down you really want a 468ci big block. twisted 'Specially in that big car there, it needs the extra grunt.

Hmm.
Like a 572?

Then I could be going, "AHHH! ******** YOU RICERS!" and ream them in a 4-door.
But of course if I slammed on the gas then I'd be peeling out for a half hour until I finally get traction.  

[Maelthra Reloaded]

...That would work too. cool

And 12" wide drag radials make for awesome traction. Might need to mini-tub the rear, but the trunks on those are MASSIVE and you wont be missing much.

Speaking of boats:



I'm hoping to inherit that when my mom looses interest in driving it/looses ability to drive it. Its got a 430 Big block in it now, my great-grandpa ordered it from the factory with the biggest engine that it could hold "Because he wanted to go fast." Should I manage to get it, I'm gonna make that engine as big as physically possible and put a 4-link, Narrowed 9" (31 spline shafts) and nice wide slicks out back (Its already got a Turbo 400 tranny, with a stage 2 shift kit and HD Torque converter it should hold up perfectly) and take it to the track when I'm not cruising it. I know my Great-Grandpa won't mind, considering both my mom and great grannie have said "He liked going fast" to me. rofl



Its a little sickly right now, I haven't had time to tune it since the carb got "Rebuilt" and it's been sitting in a barn for nearly a year and a half. sad  

[OberFeldwebel]

Yeah I know I'll need bigger tires. lol

And the trunk, yeah, I could probably put 8-10 bodies in there. More if I pack them in like sardines.

So the car hasn't left the family?
... stock motor?
...  

[Maelthra Reloaded]

Went from Great Grandpa to Mommy. Got a complete frame off resto a couple years back, but got neglected horribly for a while. sad

Stock motor with a rebuilt top end. Factory interior. Replaced the rear frame because it was cracked during a hard stop. Had new paint a couple years ago, got smacked by an old fart a couple years after and got redone again. Now it needs paint again because it was not properly rustproofed.

I want to restore it again, but I don't have the time or space yet...

Done that. Smoked a ricer in an Olds '88 hauling a sleeper sofa in a trailer. mrgreen

What year was or is that Olds '88?
... I want to get a '72, 4-door.
And when I do I want to drive it to Sam Raimi's house and lay on the horn.

Ah, that's unfortunate.

Speaking of road boats, the Impala's horn is pretty p***y sounding.
I'm thinking of getting an airhorn from a ~39 and putting it in there.

You see the long black horns?
If you set those off inside a closed garage or in parking garage, I guarantee your ears will bleed. And anyone near you will s**t their pants.

Yes, it's a ooga horn. That's for the kids that want to hear a horn and don't want to be deaf.

Rofl at the Buick vs Train.
Yeah, if only.
But I guess you'll have to settle with just getting a dent in your fender after hitting a cow/bear.
