Well I haven't been around in a while, so long story short...
#7 rod snapped off right below the wrist pin, slapped back & forth and blew a hole in both sides of the block right above the oil pan. It's now going to become an engine block coffee table for my living room. I was lucky enough to find a short block on another forum for $1400 with only 9k miles on it about an hr and a half away from my house. I had my heads decked, replaced 4 bent intake valves, put it all back together and was back on the road for WAY less than a Coyote crate motor! That was a few thousand miles ago and other than a check engine light for a bad 02 sensor everything is running great!
I had it on the track at Maple Grove Raceway back in August at the American Muscle show and on my 2nd try put down a 13.144et @ 109.69mph. Not bad for the 4th time ever drag racing in my life on 20" radials!
