It's over!!!!!!! Well, I am offically done for the year. 
The motor started knocking and then lost all oil pressure! I turned it off right after the oil pressure dropped, but just after there was a **** load of knocking! 
Had to tow her home.
Will be back in 07 with a blown 408ci
Here are some final pics I took of it from my phone. Broke down on I55

Oh no, I'm so sorry!
Just look at the bright side. It happened at the end of the season(Just one week to soon though), and you now have a good reason to make some serious power next year.

Well, the oil pump took a **** that I know. And I am pretty sure it friend my bearings. The motor had bad rings. So I am not going to dump any money in this motor. Just going to piece it out, and go with the 408

Good luck!

I was expecting it to go. But was not expecting it to go that night. I figured it would last long enough to get a few runs in at the track. But that obviously was not so.
