New Engine!

My new engine showed up! My powercrate 350 from Yearone. It mad 403.6 hp at 5700 RPM and 414 ft lbs at 3100 RPM looks really clean. Very happy so far, new transmission also showed up, TCI Streetfighter TH-400 very nice.

Engine Tear Down **WARNING GEARHEAD TALK**

So when we cracked open our engine we noticed quite a bit of carbon deposits on some of the pistons, there was also some pretty badly bent pushrods, some lifters were pitted and most were on borrowed time. In the process of removing the valvetrain components, I noticed right away the cam had two flat lobes by how little the lifters were lifting (no pun intended), so I pulled the cam and not to my surprise I had two flat lobes. We then flipped the engine and pulled off the pan and noticed a large amount of metal shavings, no bueno. On the bright side though I have 4 bolt main block and the cylinder walls looked pretty good, time for the machine shop! Now here comes the crappy cell phone pictures, when I get the chance I'll take better pictures 

Been Behind

So a lot has happened with our truck lately. The latest and greatest being we've pulled the engine, the transmission, and dissasembled the engine. We've also ordered a new engine hopefully on its way soon, the engine is a year one powercrate 350 which makes a tad more than 400hp and 400ft lbs of torque, should be a pretty quick truck. I have some pictures half are from my cell phone and don't look to good so your going to have to bear with me here.
