Sorry about your expenses coming. Can't help but smile as I think about the fun you had doing it.

Ya its all fun till you gotta break open your wallet. Actually I was just crusing when it started knocking. hearing the sound of the knock I cant believe it was broken mains. It took the crank out also so I'm gonna call Ohio crank and order a dart block and crank to make it a 434cid. This way I wont need nitrous.

the motor was still running fine. at idle it didn't make any noise. The caps looked fine when we took the pan off. it wasn't until we took the mains off that they fell apart. We could see where the mains had been walking. I cant believe the motor didn't grenade.

I'm so dumb when it comes to this stuff. Some days it makes me ashamed of myself. LOL But I appreciate folks who have a passion about stuff! Sounds like you enjoy it, so that's good to hear even if it does hit ya in the wallet!

Well after a year and a half long divorce that put my life on hold and cost me many thousands of dollars, i'm happy to say my life is back on track. I been tinkering with the car for a couple months now. Got the 434 put in and all the bugs worked out. The car drives and runs very good. I'm taking it to a show and shine at Milan Dragway today for the nostalgia drags. Ill get to make one pass with the car later in the day. I'm really hoping to hit the 10 second mark. A lot is going to depend on how well the car hooks up. Running ET street radials.
