Sooo sad

Well,My thirdgen will not happen for awhile I just put a highly modified engine in my 87 4runner,about 3 days after break in,my 91 4runners engine started knocking(rod bearing) I bought my 88 K5 blazer,excelent condition but no reverse to take its place.It was supposed to have an Auburn posi in it and I thought I would change the fluid.When I removed the diff cover I noticed that my (stock) posi,not Auburn,carrier was cracked 3/4 of the way around(where my vibes were comin from).So I took it to the shop as I am working 3 jobs and have no spare time for it.Well,I now have a new torque converter, rebuilt tranny with a shift kit and some corvette internals,rebuilt transfer case,and a new Eaton posi with upgraded 30 spline axles with all new bearings,and all for,gasp,$4,300.I am now going to purchase an engine rebuild for my 91 runner for about $2,500 and have to do the work myself.I was so close to getting that z28 but at the last minute decided that it would be better to have 3 perfect cars than to have 2 great running cars and then have 2 not running sitting at my house.I am going to sell the blazer and the 4runner this spring for a new truck and should have some left to get my camaro.

It's not a big dealand I don't really care,it's justthat I'm going crazy not having a fast car.I can still waist a few people with my blazer though.I can spin first and now with the shift kit chirp 2nd with it so it's not bad.I would rather put out the $$$ now that I have it than after it's spent and have to come up with it again
