You need a budget built sticker. So you can be in the budget built club like me. ;-) lol

Got the pan off and pulled the the #1 piston and rod out.

A lot of sludge in the pan:

Oil pickup was dented to shit and covered in more sludge:

After I took the piston and rod out I got a closer look, and noticed that the cylinder is indeed banged up pretty bad. It will definitely need to be bored now.

One deep gouge in the rod bearing, I forgot to get a good look at the crank:

stroker!!!

That poor car.

How deep are those marks in the cylinder wall? They look pretty gnarly.

But I still don't see the problem with that piston you keep posting up.

Bought another full shortblock for $150 last night. Needs rings the guy said. It came with waterpipe, front case, ofh, etc, so it was a good deal to say the least. Cylinder walls look glazed, but undamaged, rest of the motor looks fine from external inspection. At least it will be a better motor to start with that the old one. Probably get it on the stand and get it torn down in the next few weeks, get it ridge reamed and torque plate honed, and put new bearings and rings in it. Only thing that slows me down is going to TX to visit Kracka for a few days soon (see: hookers and blow), and moving the middle of June. This thing looks to have some sort of hope of running this year though!
