I have to drive to IN to get it but the guy was nice enough to meet me there instead of the 6 hour drive it would have been. Here are some pics of it....

Looks good Doc!!!!

What's the present story on your truck? Have you picked it up yet?

Secksey...

Im assuming that is all forged internals?
any bore or stroke work done?


How's the truck currently...

Is it a four bolt block?

Truck still sits where she was. Roads too bad to safely trailer anything right now. I will try to get to it later to let MODOT do there work.

It is a stock 2V motor. I am going to throw a forged crank and new eagle rods in it. I am going to use the lightning pistons and have the rotating assembly balanced. Should be able to handle up to 750 hp at that point. I am going to have it put together by a machine shop that way I know its done right.

Heard that one before....make sure they are reputable who ever you take it to. New engine looks good man. Oh, and make sure the shop warranties their work...on paper if you can get it.

I hear ya.

You know what's funny Doc? I may have blown up my motor too, BUT i had a spare ready to go FIRST.

Hehehe

Yeah I have been looking for a spare for a while. LOL but had to wait for this guy to get back ahold of me.

Picked up the motor today! Man I got ALOT more than I thought I was going to with it. EVERYTHING from the TB to the oil pan! for $300.. Damn good deal! Now if there is nothing wrong with my block then I have enough stuff to build two complete motors.
