Pulled the pistons out of the block and honed the cylinders. Found a crack that runs from one of the headbolts Iinto the cylinder and down about 1.5". Guess its time to punt.

Wow, A) Very nice radiator cover!! B) Broken ring. I had that happen to and old 454 I had. Sounded like the worse rod knock you ever heard. Pulled it apart one broken ring was it. C) Sorry about the crack. Was the block over-bored? How much?

I made an aluminum radiator cover out of 2024-0 Alclad. What do you guys think?

I made something similar, except mine is made out of thin sheet metal so I could weld a tab to attach the electric fan to. Mine is flipped over compared to yours so my turbo oil feed line runs underneath it. Yours looks good.

it's a new method of weight savings that I was trying out.

Wait. Did you pull this out of your Ty, you know, the one you purchased in Cali? I still don't understand how you beat me to that phoon.

Cleaned up some of the wires and plugs that are not being used, a quick mock of the block plate and moved the alky kit, still need to get a brush and some soap and start cleaning all that oil and that yellow crap at the firewall

Cleaned the wiring under dash, ran the alky, wb02 and scanmaster wires to a more "clean" install

Still need to set scanmaster in place, I hated it up on the dash by the pillar gauges.
