Congrats on getting back on the road.
Between the exhaust system and this engine failure, let's all cross our fingers that Mike has a little less drama in the future with his car! Not that I don't enjoy the threads, but it's about time you have some stress-free motoring.

It's Alive... It's Alive... It's Alive !!!!

OK, boys, I'm back in business here!!!

Picked up the car this afternoon, went for a good drive, and it is now resting peacefully back in the driveway.

Thank you very much for the support and input from all of you during this ordeal !!!

You bet I am!

Hey, the Esteemed and Honorable Mr. Jake Raby has purchased the blown engine.

Jake, I'm coordinating the shipment with Rebecca. Prolly get it sent out next week. I spent Sunday afternoon trolling a local business park for an abandoned pallet to ship it on, and finally found a good one.

I'm assuming you will perform an autopsy and let us know what led to this motor failure?

There are sometimes where you just need to say ".... it, I have more important things to do".

Get your priorities straight man!

Yep.. Thanks for selling it to me :-)
I'll be sure that we document this one, like always. I'll share the photos with you, and you can do with them what you like. I won't post them to the forums.

Cuda911, if it's not too much trouble, please share some pictures and information about your engine. I would love to hear and see details.

Thanks.
