Angry If something doesnt change im gonna sell it!!!!!

Im at my wits end. If Things dont start going good, im gonna sell this old gal. It seems that the last 2 weeks has been nothing but bills and frustration. Front brakes, calipers, rotors and pads,power steering pump, all the hoses, blew both belts, flat tire, collector gaskets, choke problems. the whole 9 yards. anyhow, on 2 my query. Took the new engine out last night after timing/setting the carb. engine is very strong off the bottom, but when a guy kicks her in the a$$ to pass, she hestiates for about two- five seconds, backfires a couple times, then kicks down and boogies. That was until tonite. took her out on the highway from the farm 2 town. let her warm up, then really kicked her hard. ran hard all the way too town, about 70 mile an hour, then slowed down. pulled in to the gas station, killed it to get a pop, and come out. stomped on her hard 2 show off to the squeeze, and nothing. Put it right down, and there was nothing. she just hesitates and coughs. i took her on tha highway and stomped on her!! she just coughed, hesitated and bang. blew both header gasket like that. bang. gone. no more gaskets over a few exhaust ports. she is still gutless. nothing there. can someone please help me? if i dont get it figured out, im gonna sell the old gal. thanx in advance
