wow-time flies!
We should grill out or something. Let me know if you have any other motors you want to give out!
Actually I may me interested in selling this GN, my old engine (with the GN1's and Roller Cam etc) along with this blown engine, and the few extra parts that I have as well. I've owned GN's since 1993.....just getting too beat up to work on her.......had a total knee replacement gone bad and am going to have it completely replaced (once again) this September. I will not be able to work on nothing for months afterwards. Then, VA wants to get my left knee done as well, so I am screwed as far as being able to work on anything for probably a couple of years after all is said and done. No mechanics that I would trust in my area (besides myself) that I would trust working on her. If anyone is interested then PM me and I'll send details about the GN, pics and whatever other info you would need. She has been well taken care of and always garaged. 78,000 on the odometer. A trade for another vehicle will be concidered. It just hurts me to see my GN in the garage collecting dust while me being too broke dick to work on her. I have not posted anything in the For Sale section yet.............(843) 408-1376..............Audie.......10k is the minimum I would let it all go for.
Just some pics of the engine that I am putting together. It will have a 66mm BB Turbo, 60 #'s, ATR Roller Cam and Headers/3" ATR exhaust, Cotton FMIC, and the rest of the parts from my mortally wounded old engine. etc, etc....the bottom pic is the engine with the thrown rod (200 miles on it!!!) that is being replaced....More pics to follow. I will be posting pics of the damaged engine within a couple of weeks or so to figure out why it threw a rod at 14 #'s of Boost with 200 miles on it.............that was a waste of almost 2K. :usa:
Looks pretty except for the hole in the block!

yes
What Mr Grumpy said.........that's what I was running with the BGC's (1.55 Rollers)
I have the pics of the "Rodded Engine", just have to download them. A rod broke on the # 3 Cylinder, it almost looks like it had an old crack in it. I'll load the pics of the teardown of that engine within the next couple of days. Below are some pics of the new engine I just put together and installed. She is running great!
Rodded Engine Pics
Long time in getting these pics. But I had a lot on my plate for awhile there. It almost looks as if the rod that went south had a pre existing crack??? Let me know what you all think. BTW....New and improved engine is in......that's the good thing.
I thought that the Flex plate was supposed to be neutral balanced?

I agree with the crack idea Audie! That is horrible. I had to get a flexplate from Lee Thompson awhile back, that's what he told me at the time as well. It was nice talking to you the other day bud. I just figured I would let you know we are sending the motor to TA Performance and getting it built. I told him if it was gonna be mine I wanted to make sure it was done very well. We are most likely going to sending the Transmission to Lee Thompson if he has some time as well. I am sorry to see the troubles you have had but at least it's on the road my friend!
