Just got off the phone with Comp and they are going to replace the rockers and prob upgrade them to the High tech SS rockers at no charge and told me to send in receipts when its all back together and they will see what they can do about the rest.
Also talked to ARP today and they are sending me a free rocker stud since mine got a little damaged. Thanks ARP!!!!
LE is sending me new Valve seals for free. Thanks LLoyd!!!!
Every bit helps and really appreciate anything you guys can do!!! Thanks again!!
I just need about $150 in gaskets and Im good to start putting it back together
Anyone want to swing over and help me yank the motor out? Ive got some friends to help but none are into LT1s or have done a LT swap and the others dont care for cars.

The key thing to remember is don't bother taking the struts out from the top. Take them off the A-arms. It's far less of a pain. This way you don't have to worry about trying to align the struts back into the towers and having to force them into place... so on and so forth.

If it is down that far, you don't even need a Happy Hooker to get it out, just chains and a cherry picker and you are done... Hell, with help just undo the hood struts and hold the hood vertical until it is out...

Im gonna pull it out the top with a cherry picker, bring the motor in the house build the 355 in the Living room. Then gonna put it back in from the bottom fully built. I figure that will be the easiest at this point. I can move the car in and out of the garage and not have to remove the K-member 3 times just once and will be even easier to get out without the motor.

Damn, just saw this now. I haven't heard of many Pro Mag failures, but it's bound to skip past quality control every now and then considering the volume they produce. Glad to hear they are helping you out, along with ARP and Lloyd.
Good luck with the tear down and reinstall!

The 1.7's should bump the lift up to .570 -.580 ( was .540-.550 w/ 1.6's), I think the 135# springs should still be good for it. We just want to get the promags off the car after seein what happened with your motor! Plus another guy on here twofast4luv has had issues with them as well. The 1.6's are all you need with that cam, that 355 should scoot!

I have found 2 local guys that also broke pro mags! Actually they both broke 2 of them each, not in the same spot as mine but those are high HP race motors. The guys at Comp were telling me the Pro mags are more of a street/ bracket rocker not a full race application. I said you sure as hell dont advertise them like that.
