There was a few points during this process I thought for sure it was never going back together 😂🤣

Man I never want to have to do that again🤢😅

It’s cleaning up nicely! Got rid of janky in-line splices and marine butt connectors and opted for bare barrel connectors and heat shrink. Still waiting on pistons / figuring out other options for them.

Definitely a daunting task to start. But really it’s not that hard just very time consuming. Dash is in, fuse box relocated. Still lots to do but it’s coming along!

Can’t lie tho the stocks held it down for a while over 500whp! Just impatiently waiting for parts that are on back order hopefully she’s back on the road soon 🤞

Today I was finally able to pick up the camera
And download the front cam view!

Thankfully My Wife, Daughter and I walked away from this with no major injuries 🙏🏻❤️

Block, head and crank are at the machine shop! Just waiting to hear back on what bore for the pistons and bearing clearances also still going back and forth if I want to use a Vulcan cut ring head gasket or not

Got everything removed and then re installed suspension and put tires back on. Gotta push it out and pressure wash the whole bay.

Starter took a beating so ill have to get a new one 🫤

The block also looks like Swiss cheese now parts even shot down out the oil pan and hit the Tcase luckily that’s fine.

Oh and the auto trans is heavy af!

Well head is fixable that’s about the only good news.

Going 2.3L stroker now. Cyl #3 is MIA Cyl #4 rod broke off at the crank end.

Luckily I have a spare block and crank. Hopefully back on the road before the new year.

We will be back with a built motor eventually.

Still got some practice to do but man she rips out the hole now!

Got some dialing in to do for sure but so far I’m happy! Peaked 23psi before I left off.
