just woke up to a phone call from allen. They pulled a head off and motor is blow. I have no idea what happened but he mentioned something with two pistons was screwed up. The good news is the guy who put the internals together is fixing the motor free of charge, since the motor has only 75 miles on it

Damn, thats a bad thing to hear man, the free fix is really good though.
Good luck to your friend...

Try letting the motor break in this time before beating the piss out of it... Why not go with a ls1, probably makes as much power as that 347 stock.

bottem bearings are blown out from being to hott, some pistons are loose in the walls.. Motor is being sent back out to detroit tomorow to get fixed, so we might get to have it back out before winter but not planning on it
