Well last motor spun a rod bearing and basically was just junk after I tore it down and got to looking at a rebuild. So I ended up getting a fresh built 6.0 w/ arp rod bolts new rings and all new bearings from a local guy who just so happened to get the motor from another member on here(burgers). The car had been wrecked 3 years ago and the radiator support has needed to be replaced so I thought this would be a good time for it all so heres some pics
Also forgot to add from the time the car spun a bearing till this finished product was only 3 weeks.
started with this
