yeahh blew the motor finally. overheated and I had to drive on it. anyways yeah has light knocking. I got a new motor for 350 got some ARP headstuds , headgasketi'm putting in, new TB and maybe WP then sat i'm swapping the bitch in. Hopefully everything goes well. I have my engine all ready to be pulled minus the axles and motor mounts.

The hard way.

By the way, who won the bet? :P

(it didn't blow from turbo) it blew becuase its always overheated randomly. and yeah but now it leads to bigger and better things.

New motor has 58K THe tranny I have in my car is from that motor and its been running perfect. perhaps if this goes well i may start to build it =P

how bout you fix the reason on why it is overheating? there';s a lot more components that control temperature than just the water pump...

replaced everything but radiator

and the radiator is good?

[scudweiser]

get a lower temp thermostat, maybe a failsafe, theyre like 10$. add some redline water wetter, you wont overheat. if i werent going to portland this weekend i would offer to give you a hand wrenching though. nothin like some good wrench time.
