Well, not really. The little 4.8 decided today that it had had enough. I'm 99% sure I busted a piston on the passenger side. There were 3 guys in the cab that were all 230lbs+(including myself). I think the extra weight is what sent it into detonation. All it took was once! First time it ever detonated bad. Well now I get to build a little more what I want. I'm thinking of staying fairly mild on the budjet and going with either a 3.900 or a 4.000 bore. I may go with the 3.900 bore due to more availabilty of off the shelf pistons with stock rods. Then 6.0 crank & heads, which I have already thanks to 1slow01z71, and around 8.5:1 comp with good pistons and balance of course. Same cam and a 2.75 pulley. I guess I won't have a shot at the 11's with the pe-wee motor. Oh yeah, might as well do the 6 speed swap while it's apart!

good luck to ya srry for the motor hopefully i can make mine blow up to set up in the game haha

 

Damn man, that sux.. I knew that baby was going to die one day, but not this soon. Was your meth still working correctly?

 

Not positive about the meth. Didn't pay attention. I'll worry about it after I get it back together.

 

Woot Woot two engine builds and engine swaps in one month this is going to be fun

I forsee many cases of beer being drank on these couple of "small" projects

 

Im going to make a prediction right now 15 pages for this thread

 

Already started. Got to have something to numb the pain when the wife kicks my *** when she finds out!

 

Hah I was just thinking yesterday about your 4.8 with 30* timing wondering how long that would last and how the hell you did it....didn't mean to jinx you sorry bro

hope the new motor works out well.... if you and 1slow01Z71 feel like coming out to AZ you can add another motor build to your list!

 

Hahaha I think Mj said it best when I talked to him on the phone earlier "I think Ill know a few things about LS1 motors by the time we are through" and its true After this motor swap NOTHING drivetrain wise on my truck will ahve been untouched

Mark did that junkyard email you back about a T-56?

 

Nope. If all else fails I can get a brand new one of around 2k. don't want to have to though.
