I'd love to go bigger but there are a lot of reasons I didn't want to:
It would require a LOT more fuel system ($$$$$), bigger turbo($$$$$), different trans/converter ($$$$$$$$$$$$) and so on and so forth, I figured I could stay under 370ci and still be in good shape with what I've got, that's why I chose the route I did, at the time, it seemed like sound logic...

Yeah, this motor is the one thing I've done I was hoping to put in and once maybe a few minor things were worked out, "set and forget" its been like this since day one with this thing, why would this be any different

**** man that totally blows! I know how you feel for the most part... I had to replace the rear main the DAY I got the truck running
and now its still untuned and unmoved
sucks to look at all your work just sitting in the driveway.
You think clearance on the crank was a little slim or something?

Wow, sorry to hear all that Ben! I was expecting that motor to be a beast!
Based off of the reputation Rex has I'm sure he'll make it right. Brian had that origionally built for him and I can't imagine between him and you that there hasn't been quite a bit of money spent on that mill.
I look forward to seeing the results when you throw some real boost at it once it's fixed and after you go through break-in all over again.
