I'd like to know what caused it, but I doubt I'll find out. I'll be keeping this updated.

I've already got some 243 castings that I plan on giving a little bit of a home port job to. I'll be selling my diamond -2cc forged pistons for a 3.905 bore. They are for stock 6.098 rods and stock 3.622 stroke. If anyone wants them they are brand new with wrist pins. I don't have the rings for them, but they are NIB. I just opened them to peek, $300 + S&H. I'm also going to try to sell off all the stock parts I have off of my car along with some Gen I SBC stuff I have around the house.
I'd really just like to do a ls2 shortblock rebuilt with ARP rod bolts and head studs, my ported 243 heads, a cam, and a LS7 clutch. We'll see what I can afford though as money is really tight. I'm probably going to have to skimp on the cam and relating parts, but we'll see. This is probably all going to take a few months so I'll keep everyone here updated.
EDIT: , but does anyone know if 295/35/18s fit on a 18x9.5? I searched earlier before it stopped working and read mixed reviews. I also read the sticky in the wheels and tires section that said the recommended max is a 285, but then wasn't sure after reading what others had to say. Thanks.

I took some pics of my tires that are on my car now. They're basically dead. Makes sense why it would spin all of first and part of second.
I'm should be getting the 295s soon along with some suspension parts I'm going to start fabricating. I'm also going to start taking some stuff off the car to sell. I have lots of stock parts and a bunch of aftermarket stuff too. I'll be making a parts for sale thread shortly.
