I have not been on for three months almost to the day!
I knew it had been a while but that's crazy !
Update on my Marauder status;
Still waiting on the Cobra motor transplant!
I finally got the motor to the rebuilder , Coil Racing Engines in McHenry.
Hopefully it should be completed soon.
So, keep your fingies crossed for me for I'm on a shoe string trying to get her back on the road.
It will be two years this Sept.
I haven't worked since February, and I'm in the midst of working on getting disability for my fibromyalgia .
Depending on how things go from here, I may have a one owner high mileage Blown Marauder for sale soon.
Peace & Love

I would like to say I'll be there with the Marauder running again.
Thanks Ken, I'd love to see everyone!

Who are you again? Oh yeah, that guy that caused me to cut up my car and spend countless thousands of dollars all because of a single rip down the 1320 in yours.

Thanks. Like seriously, thanks. I would have sold it long ago without that convincing ride.

You're not selling it.....I'll beat you to a pulp if you even try. No one loves Marauders more than you!

You also sent me down this long road of heavy modding and empty bank accounts.....

Hope it all works out Brad.

Yep, my first ride and drive at the same time in a boosted MM was in Bradley's car at our Weber Grill meet.

Bradley: I can relate. Mine has been out of service since the last week in March. I have a good man on it but he is backed up with other work. Someday I'll get it back:)

Yea brad you are the reason many of us boosted our marauders. (Including me) you can't let that car go. It was the first boosted marauder I ever drove. Keep your chin up man even if it takes you 2 more years to get her going it will be worth it.

Well the long block is completed , the car is still sitting inside waiting for the motor to be dressed and installed .
The shop manager blew his knee out , so there is no extra down time for the staff to get it back together.
The temporary manager referred me to a nearby mechanic to get it finished .
Now it just a matter of scraping the funds to be able to pay him and re-register and get insurance bound .
I've paid stupid money toward this project, borrowed and seems like sold my soul to get it back.
I'm truly embarrassed, I was not able to afford the funds to come to the MV 12 event with or without the #93 Trilogy car to see you peeps that went.
The good news is!, I did get health insurance and have cortisone injections
scheduled so maybe I can get back on my feet! :violin:

No need to feel embarrassed. As long as you are getting your personal life in order. That is all that matters buddy. I too just had a few more injections to get me through the next couple of months. I'm am having radiofrequency done again to my lower spine. Otherwise I'll have to have a two level fusion probably sooner than later. :(

Glad to here your car is coming around bud!

@ T-Bone , I told you , lets load the tune from my car into your car and see what a real tuner can do for you.
I'll call Lonnie and make sure the increased PSI won't harm your car.
