First off let me say that I'm not posting this to start anything. The recent feud between everyone is over, but I'm just making sure that you learned a lesson from the recent events.

Chad's "karma" couldn't go unnoticed by the OP, so the OP's karma will be pointed out.

well the car seemed fine when i was driving it earlier in the day... about 5 min b4 i was driving on 429 goin to clermont and it almost seemed like there was like a rev limiter on the car at like 5k (i was in a hurry a lil... lol...)... at 1 point i put it in neutral and let off the gas and the car stalled but started back up perfectly fine... but still had the same limiter kinda feeling... then as i was on the off ramp to get on the FL turnpike heading west, i heard like a loud tappin or vibration sound...(which i thot was like sumthin vibrating under the car such as a piece of plastic or like my p/s pump goin bad again or sumthin...) so i put it in neutral and reved it a lil... and it got WAY louder then (it was like those slow-mo parts in movies were sum1 realizes thats a bomb thats about to explode and like all sound stops... watch sword fish... lol...) i hear what 2 me sounded like my serpentine belt shreded and took half the components on the engine with it and i look in my rearview and i see a big-ol plume of white smoke and whole bunch or crapflyin everywere... lol...

here is a pic... the lil round thin 2 the right of the hole is my dip-stick tube... the hole is about the size of a tennis ball...



well i had my car towed 2 my school (SCC in lakemary/sanford) kuz that would be the easiest place to do a swap cuz we have liftes n cranes and what ever else i would need...

i will be taking the engine from JHAND's other cavy prob wed starting early in the mornin... im gonna attempt to pull the engine outta my car tomorrow... if anyone would like to help, plz call me... my number is listed in the first post...

both cars have the 4T40E tranny but im not positive if they r interchangeable...

anyways i needs help!! lol...
