I knew your drinking and your motor build up combo was a bad idea!
I won't knock you this time, cause I know the gut wrenching feeling has to suck right about now.
Sorry to hear the bad news.
I'll make fun of you when you get that thing running though.
Til then, good luck on the fix!

Jim

Well I cant operate without beer when working on the truck acuse otherwise I get pissed too easily. I pulled the motor back out tonight broke it down and 3 or 4 pistons are htiting the crank counter weight so the crank is going back to the machine shop to get turned and balanced then put it all back together. Hell when you guys get ready to get serious and quit playing around with them damn stock cube motors I guess you could say Im somewhat of a motor swap expert now at this point

Feel free to make fun of me all you want I knew it wasnt right but I was in a time crunch and needed to get it together so I rushed things and well Im back to square one. I have turned every drive train bolt on my truck now

this is my cousins shop, he just opened it last year, and does some nice paint jobs.... my brother wrecked his truck, he just finished it last week and did a damn good job on it, he put a SS front bumper and painted all the plastics the same color, I'll try to see if he can post up some pics of it...

by the way check out the site and check out the detail inside the flames of the orange and green truck..
