Gut the interior, install roll cage, race seats + 6.0L LS engine + manual transmission. Just the right amount of sheer stupidity, danger and fun I want.
So you want to drop a GM drivetrain in it? Smart!

Was kinda looking up Nolan Ryan and I saw something interesting:
On May 11th, 1973 against the White Sox he got lit up. Gave up 5ER in 0.1 inning before getting pulled.
Comes back THE NEXT DAY and gets a 2 inning save with 4Ks
3 days later, throws a no-hitter with 12Ks.He was a bad ass!!

The irony is that I could not actually install a motor in it with MORE displacement than it has now lol
460ci / 7.54L is a freaking monstrous dinosaur and it only made I think ~300hp brand spanking new on leaded gasoline (super high octane)

-- Start talking.Same vendor has called me 6 times in the past 3 days. Each time I ask questions as to who they are to which they reply:
Greeting: Hi i'm Hank from ______. We need to get in contact with your VoIP manager.
Me: Do we have a contract with you?
Vendor: No.
Me: We would like to be removed from your call list please.
Vendor: We don't have a call list.
Me: Where are you getting our phone number from?
Vendor: My computer.
Me: And where is your computer getting our information?
Vendor: Our Client.
Me: And who is your client?
Vendor: The telecommunications industry as a whole.
Me: I'm assuming there are multiple phone numbers for multiple companies in your computer?
Vendor: Yes
Me: That's a call list. I want to be removed from that list.
Vendor hangs up.This has happened 5 other times this week where they just hang up. I keep blocking their number but they have called from a different number every time.

No, different. The guys name wasn't hank but his identity is irrelevant. They all just hang up on me eventually.

This is why I don't answer phone calls unless I am expecting a call from the out side, or I know the person calling from the inside.

Problem is I get random numbers all the time that are legit. Sucks

Only other thing I can think of is to call that company directly and keep moving it up the food chain until you get somebody to take care of it.
