          Turbo it with a 100-shot just to see what it'll do at the drags; blow it up; then stick in another B8.

            What was the problem that kept it from running?
            I don't suppose you had any sort of warranty with the engine?

                        Go to a yard and buy a b8 it'll be cheaper IMO. Even if it's a day drive.

                          I would have to find a day to go because there are no B8's near me
