1st time run for Super Pro, looks like #5 piston let go. :shock:

I'm gonna pull it out last weekend of the month and autopsy it.

Mt stock backup motor is gonna go in with a 100 shot on it for Bowling Green Thanksgiving weekend. :D

Not yesterday anyway. I still firmly believe it can be done, and I may leave this car together long enough to do it next year. :shock:

Go for it next season. I would like to see it done. My Cuda is too heavy and motor too small, to go for that. All my lighter cars are not street legal, so it is up to you.

Already talked to Mike about getting pistons/rings, just gotta get it apart and see what's hurt.

Not sure if I'll be able to put the car back together or not, I will be finishing the Duster now that my divorce will be final Friday. Next spring I will also be looking for another house, so money will probably be tight. :shock:
