Starting the engine on a V8 project is one of the best feelings & sounds in the WORLD! Congrats Chad, that's badass! Sounds good too!!

 

[Herzog]

When is the maiden voyage? Looking great guys!

It will be car show weekend at the end of the month. Other than that it will be just around the block as much as we can

 

[chadschoon]

Thanks for the complements guys...

Had a minor or MAJOR set back

Time for motor #2. The lifters in the motor started to get really loud, then it started to sound like a rod knock. Had maybe 2 min of run time on new oil and went to drain it and it was already a dark silver color. Pulled the pan and it was full of metal shavings. I hope to get it out around the block this weekend.

So where are you getting these junk motors? That is some bad luck for sure.

 

[chadschoon]

They are both from all truck in slc. Not sure how long the first one would have lasted but not worth the risk.

 

[Herzog]

Damn man. Good luck with the second Chad!

 

[BEACH]

Im lost the first Motor was junk. This motor is the second and its junk? And now you are getting a third motor?

 

[chadschoon]

The first motor is junk and I'm putting in #2 as we speak

 

[skippy]

Will all truck warranty out the first one??? or are you stuck with a bad motor???

 

[chadschoon]

They only warranty 30 days from date of sale. It's been 2 years since purchase even though this is the first time starting.

 

[skippy]

oh gotcha now you have one to build ......

 

[jevyguy]

Well you better run the crap out of #2 for the next 30 then.

 

[Bart]

So how much do you want for the builder motor?
