Default hole in block

just curious, but is a 3 inch by 1 inch whole in the side of your block about an inch above the oil pan on the passenger side a bad thing?

Seriously tho, its trashed right?

If that "whole" (as you spelled it, meaning "complete") is similar to a "hole" (as in a void that should be taken up by the aluminum of your block) then it sucks. If you mean you have a whole motor, good. It's better than a partial one.

Just teasing. That sucks man. But I'll agree it was probably a blast tearing it up.

I needed something on top of my dry stages.
I'm still tuning so no dyno or runs yet. I'll wait till the end of show season and let it all hang out!!!!!!!
