Just the rocker is busted, but theres a bunch of bearing parts in there some where. So the entire thing is coming out to find it, and since its coming out the 355 might as well go back in.

At least you have a back up with the 355. All forged and splayed 4 bolt? Now you can spin that thing to the moon! Oh, and spray with 200 shot and not worry about it. I think it's a good move forward. Keep us updated.

stock crank and rods, clevite bearings, arp hardware, forged pistons, but its should take most abuse I can throw at it even with a 200 shot.

Now only if all my parts would get in I can start putting it back together.
