No, I did find out that I blew the head gasket once I went to start it and it wouldn't turn over.

Swapped starters, same deal.... cranked the engine by hand, could hear water go back to the radiator.

Drained the oil, more water came out.

So hydrolocked and decided to pull the engine. As it turns out nothing was actually bent or broken, but since it was torn down why not I've always wanted a boosted V8
