yeah we think its done i having a friend come to take a look at it and will go from there i think it will just be easier to just put a new motor in and then fix the 4.8 as a back up or what not

 

man that sucks, pull the caps, and inspect everything. Check and blow air in all of the oil passages.

 

Look on the bright side, well I guess there is no bright side bro. good luck, and it sounds like an excuse for a 408 swap to me

 

well robert... ive been looking there are a few possibilities... but ill talk to you later on... with your present situation i think everyone on here will tell you a 5.3 would be a great option for reliability and ability to build some good power
