she blew because

my rad return tube totality sheered off and every time my therm opend water would pour on to I-75 un till it got so hot that my spark plug boots caught fire that caught some wires on fire that well cooked my VULCAN'T

May I suggest using punctuation in your posts? At least it lasted this long. Now you can move on to bigger and better things. I'm thinkin that 460 would be a nice engine.

Well that sucks that your motor blew and caught fire. Glad to hear your not junking it.
Keep us posted.

Hopefully this isn't another rubberized interior thread.
