Spun a bearing tonight... time for an upgrade So, I was coming from the CowTown meet tonight and ran into a murdered out Holden on the interstate. We played around a bit but traffic limited our fun. Once it cleared we got a couple of runs in. He let me get the jump. Big mistake cause I killed him. Next run was dead even hit and I pulled 3 cars then it was like I just quit pulling... He blew past me like I was standing still.... My oil pressure was damn near zero and it didnt want to idle. I knew what had happened. 160,250 miles and it was time to go.... At least she went down fighting. It was a good death...

Ill know more later on today... its got a low end knock now, very low pressure and doesnt want to idle. I still in shock. Really bummed cause that was the first run after the breakin period for the new tranny.. Now that I think about it, this isnt really in the right section is it? Ill just blame it on shock... yea.

yup its done, whats your plans?? I got a lingefelter ls2 block thats been deburred and ran threw there whole block process, and a callies compstar 402 setup with manly pistons, it is lingeflets 525hp shortblock, the only issue is it to spun a bearing but everything has been checked out by a machine shop and the crank can be re used just needs to be turned a little and use a oversize bearing, will not need to be rebalanced, unless you decide to go with a new crank, only issue is it is a 58tooth reluctor but since its dissasembled you can have that changed when you have the crank turned, Let me know if you are interested il let the entire setup go real cheep. all you would need is a top end
