i dont need the shortblock. i already have a dss forged 5.0 shortblock. just need all the shit for up top.

Just so I know and anyone else asks or wants to do the same, how many times did you shoot it and how many bottles did you put through it?

wow i hadnt even thought about ray, ill have to shoot him a pm.

hopefully by some magical dumb luck the heads will be fine. from up top i didnt see any of the valves to appear totally fawked up, but i guess i wont know til i pull the heads off

i put 11 bottles through it. and the last 2 times i shot it i sorta kinda put in a 175 shot...:hide: which probably wadnt too smart lol.

5.0?

sorry..5.0 stroker shortblock.

I told you not to do that on pump gas!

There is no kinda sorta about that. FWIW the car laid down on gas doesn't usually turn out well.

andddd i learned a valuable lesson...listen to randy lol.

UPDATE:
 

pulled the whole damn thing out, fawkkk droppin the k member and takin those damn headers off!!

the opposite side is the same, the two pistons magically disappeared. the heads are all nicked up too.

Tubular k-member!!!! The hours you have spent going around your ass to get to your elbow could easily make up the cost. How many times have you pulled that thing in the last six months!?!

pulling it out this way the k member wasnt an issue! so ha bish! lol

and this is the 3rd time since july...:mrgreen:

Ah got the trans all taken out with it to avoid the removal of the K-member? I can't ser the pix on the computer I'm on. I am waiting for the flywheel to get here and then I am going to be putting the cobra together. It can take its time though. 11 degree nights and 30 degree days makes for quick numbness. Rolled it out and washed it yesterday. Before I could get around to dry it the water had frozen. What. The. Fuck. Lol

Gonna need the kmember for them turbo things you been talking about getting anyway!

Hopefully gonna have those turbo things on while putting this back together!

well the heads arent as bad as i thought

Those can be fixed

yea i already talked to Ray. hopefully she'll be at the track next saturday

randy will i need a retune with this new shortblock?

Hard to tell from the pics. Looks like they got peppered and nicked by pieces of the piston. Doesn't quite look just like carbon deposits knocked off. Like I told you before those could be fixed maybe just by smoothing them out, but the heads could be built back up and ported back down if the nicks were considerable.

Ray said he can fix it so im a little less dicouraged now

Not likely unless the compression ratio changes.

it will.

Thankfully you were only idling when it happened.

Well i think i found my problem

Yep. That will do it. Who needs pistons and rods anyway!? An LSX would have still taken you through race day!

This....and coming from a ford guy

I didnt disagree lol

Lol oh I know, and I'm talking stock vs stock, but what kind of gm guy would I be if I didn't give you ford guys a hard time?

2013 GT500 > Chevy

:hide:


Lololol

Negative sir. ZR1 or Z06 > any year GT500 stock for stock.

Nope. I read on the interwebs that the gt500 is the way most bestest car in US (maybe the entire world!)right now. It has like 6 million hp at 3k rpm you know! You drive a GM so your bias.

Really though it was more of joke thing to Adam about the hype that surrounded it. We would tease about that when it was announced. And since he is poking fun to us Ford guys :)
