Default Thanks

Thanks everyone! Mid the long term plans are to build this thing and salvage what I can. Bought it cheap from a supposidly wrecked 03 vette (batwing pan says more than likely). Not sure why it was in the vette or if it was even true but someone spent good money on it but not sure if they weren't sure how to assemble it properly or ran it low on oil. Found 2 spun rod bearings and the rest of the bearings look like hell. Also the number 1 cylinder had garbage in it like someone left it sit with no plug in it or water got in the intake valve since it had no intake on it so it will require a bore and pistons. On a positive note it came with CNC'd 241 heads, crane roller rockers, aftermarket crank,not sure of Comp cam grind, aftermarket rods, and all arp bolts. I'll salvage what I can and replace what needs replaced.
