The Beast needs a heart.

A couple days ago I received a call that my truck, a 1990 Chevy C1500, needed a new engine. I was/am so sad about that. I love that truck so much.To tell you how much I love it, here's a joke. Last year I was dating a girl and working on my truck. I had the truck running and went to the mall for work. When i got there I text her, "I love my truck! :)" And she text back, "At least you love something." OUCH. On her part anyway.

I am the third owner of it and the owner before me is my oldest brother. So it has been around for a while. Ever since my brother has had it I always wanted it. It used to run so nicely and sounds amazing. A sound that's hard to beat. Even more hard to beat now since nothing else sounds like it, unless of course you're driving another truck that is breaking down.

I have owned the truck for about four years now. Not long enough in my opinion. So now I have a couple options; buy a new vehicle, or buy a new engine and replace the old one. Right now I am thinking about replacing the old engine. I love the truck. And not only that but, a new vehicle isn't that easy to get. I'm 20 years old and do not have a credit, nor do I have a steady income at the moment. I have always wanted the Beast to be my project truck. Always wanted to drop a Chevy LS1 engine in it. If only I had that much money.

So I have decided to replace the old engine with a brand new GM 350 V8. The same engine that is already in it. Of course that won't be happening any time real soon, but I will get it done. I have to. It will be like having a new vehicle, sort of. I'm looking forward to getting all of that done and then having my truck sound like it used to, and run like its new.
