Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Ok, help me find one, and help me set the aem up to work with it. :O I'll do it.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

If your going to go through the hassle, I'd just LS1 swap it, it would probably be cheaper.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

But not as awesome. If I was going for a v8 I'd use the aluminum DOD 5.3

There are two at Pam's in St. Cloud, but they don't say MIVEC.

I wonder if a truck bell housing would bolt to your conquest trans? Or if a new tuck trans might be better?

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

It's one-piece, so it would either be my stock trans or a t56 which would probably be my first choice anyway. 220mph, GO!

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

oh, btw, is there one of those engines for closer to say... free?

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

I was waiting for that part. Probably not. Just find another g54b block and truck motor it up.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

I am. It's going to be done a week from today and driving around blowing up engines.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

The deck of the block cracked? That is really wierd.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Apparently it happens a lot. When I posted on SQC several people had the exact same thing happen, one guy on a completely stock engine.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Wow, never saw that in my SQ ownership. :( :( for you. Maybe get your block sleeved?

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

:( Bummer man.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Nah, no sleeves needed, just need to get it back together and get 'er tuned.

Just picked up this bad boy today. Too bad the car had to stay with the owner.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Nice, fairly easy to find?

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise that someone I knew locally had a spare. I had totally forgotten that he had it. But it looks fine, it probably would be fine just tossing it in there with stock pistons and junk, but he wanted to keep the crank cause it was mint so I just took the bare block. I'll transfer all my stuff to it if it checks out, which it will. Hot tank is a must, it's kindof filthy. Then it'll get bored to fit my slugs and then it goes right back in the beasty.

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

Your bouncing back quick, good work!

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

What's crappy though is that I can't just pop it in, I have to have it bored out, which costs money, I have to buy a lower end gasket kit, I have to have the head checked for warpage (maybe I can do that myself).

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

At least you don't need new pistons, rods or crank work though. A bore and gaskets aren't too bad, would have been cheaper if your old block didn't decide to be a boat anchor though. And yes, I want to see you use it as one! :bengals:

Re: My poopy conquest and it's cracked block
 

I have a few snap-on straight edges and feeler gauge sets, let me know when you what me to stop by and check the head. No charge as it can be on the way home from work.
