My ****'s not right right now either, that's why I didn't see this post sooner... When my car is f-ed up I just need to step away from ls1tech for a while. Anyway, 
sorry to hear about this Mike, good luck getting it squared away.

That motor had NO TIME ON IT. Also with the fast intake and the crappy MINTY heads the motor would only rev to 6200 rpm. I'm really surprised that LME didn't want to look at the motor to see why it failed with such little use??

me too I figured I would chime in with my bad news. I decided to drive my t/a to work today & a half mile from work I lost oil pres. As I pulled into work it started to knock 
After work I got it home & dropped the pan, and of course it took out five rod bearings. After just puttin in the new 9", new susp, and new No2 system, I am flat broke. So I will be done for the remainder of the season. This is about as low as it gets after bustin *** for the last couple of months to get nowhere. Just had to vent a little. Time to forget about it for a while 
tuff; hopefully you get yours back together, would kick *** to see it break some records.
