    Well the rod took the block out with it so I will have to get a new block and haha 450-500 flywheel hosepower on motor I made 384 through a 80 and a 3000 stall with 3.90's so I was prob pretty close to that on just the motor and then I was spraying 250 on top if that no wonder they let go but I guess it's time to go bigger

    Well I'm not really sure cause the guy that built it split with the shop that it was built at and that shop has pretty much shut down so I have no real way to prove if he charged me for more expensive parts or not and I also did not revive a recipt so yeah I'm pretty much stuck
