Well,

I bought a low mileage LQ4 engine last year with plans to build it for my TransAm which was running great with a cam only LS1 at that time. I bracket raced the car about every other weekend with no problems. Then one day my wife decided to drive it down a flooded road She sucked water in the intake and bent a rod The good news was that I already had an engine to replace my hurt LS1 Even better news was that insurance gave me 5100 bucks for a replacement engine. I decided to build a forged 404 cubic inch stroker. Any way enough of the long story...... Here's the build info and some pictures.
