Well guys,pulled the motor out today and it's basically toast.Broke two rods and the cam in several places.It had already been sleeved in the number 1 cylinder.No failure there though.The bottom of the cylinder walls got pretty chewed up and the crank journels are junk.
So much for building that motor,huh?
My buddies and I are arguing whether to have a 302 built or just buy a high-hp 383 stroker.It would cost me the same either way.At this point,I'm thinking of just shelving the 302 idea for now and just picking up the phone.
383/550hp $6699
What do you all think...again?
