4,653 personal horsepower.

At my tool and die shop we have lots of motors in the 5 hp range, 4 30hp motors, one 75hp motor, 2 30hp compressors, 2 15 hp compressors and 3 5 hp compressors, 6 trucks, 3 towmotors, 4 cranes.

At the car lot we have 43 cars and trucks on the lot that I own personally. Do they count?

I'll only claim the personal horsepower from the first paragraph till somebody starts using business and investment horsepower (then I'll start adding).

loosecannon22 12-30-2002 07:49 PM

Damn I lost in the first post,
well give me time, I will get there. this all started because my neihbor had 13 batteries to keep charged with all his toys. I wondered what hp you wackos had.
then think about all the gas per year!!!

Shorgasm 12-30-2002 07:54 PM

Oh Billy......the bayliner puked on me.....need a Coupler...any ideas ......cheap is the only way to go.......The Formula I just bought needs the T-56 redone so that's first on the money list....:D

loosecannon22 12-30-2002 08:15 PM

find out if your coupler is the same as a big block, If so thats no big deal, A couple hours worth of work. I may have one, I will have to check my " stock room" by the way, is the formula a car? if so is that a t-5 unit? I dont know of a t-56
but i might know of someone who has one. why dont you just buy my boat, I redid the engine with all the goodies and will let it go to you for less then wholesale. that means you use it for a year or two and sell it for the same price.
my new work # 386- 763 9008
give me a shout i now have to work all week.
but I am going out in the boat 8 am new years day for about an hour just to say I did. you have to start the new year right!

mcollinstn 12-30-2002 08:26 PM

brauer - that looks like a Lotus V8 in your avatar. If it is, I wanna ride in it. (I buy my gas at Dodge's store - they got cheap gas and good chicken there...especially on SuperTuesday, premium is 6cents off).

cannon, I think a BorgWarner T-56 is the aluminum cased firebird/camaro six-speed stick tranny (the vette uses a ZedF transaxle combo).

Shorgasm 12-30-2002 08:41 PM

Yup 6-speed.......2nd is done...well the shift fork went soft on me......oh well it needed synchros anyways......not sure which coupler it is.....i think the triangular one......I won't be buying any boats anytime soon...that's for sure.....gonna pay the car off first.....hell I only owe about 7K on it.......a 98.....;)

Jeff, is it a silver one like the picture (gotta know what to keep my eyes peeled for..)?

tryin to make a deal on a yellow 348TS this week, but I doubt I'll keep it longer than a month (planning to resell it). Dunno, though, Ive always liked 348's (and Esprits), might decide to have to keep it...

Wasn't kiddin about Dodges store - good chicken...
