Im selling this cheap of course because of the damage and also i am getting out of the racing hobby, its just too expensive. I take paypal but have to ask for 3% fees, and i'll also accept a money order. Price is FIRM at $2000+ shipping.


THE GOOD: 6.0 Iron block
Eagle forged crank
Eagle H-beam rods with ARP bolts
Wiseco pistons # K394A3
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
LS6 oil pump
Comp Cam 244/248 .612/.615 110LSA
Double roller timing chain

This entire setup has about 5k miles on it and it ran great. It made 481hp and 476 ft. lbs through 1 3/4" pacesetters and patriot heads. I was constantly getting horrible wheep hop with the truck when i got on the gas so it was never beat on. It was my daily driver, so most of the miles where back and forth to work and about 20 dyno pulls. The tune was not yet perfected, the timing was low, about 23*, and the a/f was around 11.9:1 so there was more power in it as well. If seriously interested i can put you in contact with my tuner and he will vouch for the motor.


THE BAD: I went to start it up one day and it apparently had a leaking head gasket. It busted a rod ON STARTUP, not at high rpm. The only apparent damage was the rod and two marks on the cylinder wall, below where the rings contact the wall.

 

Have you had the crank checked for straightness??? Generally when you hydraulic a piston hard enough to bend/break the rod, it also will bent and weaken the crank. Folding up a rod is generally not good at any speed.

 

No i have not. I'm trying to keep the motor assembled as much as possible and since the rod bent from just the force of the starter, i wasn't very worried that the crank was bent, since it is much stronger than a rod. There is no way the starter has that much force behind it, my personal belief was that it was a faulty rod and the higher pressure from the water in the cylinder just brought out the weakness.
