YIKES! Sounds like you need a Muncie 4spd in place of the auto tranny and a ZZ572 big-block to replace the water pump issues.

Try explaining that to the Misses.
Well sorry you had a bad day. Mine wasn't great either. I just walked around Acadia all day long in 65 degree weather. SO now I'm tired, stinky, sweaty, and tired. But the weather was too good to be true.
