    That's funny Brian, by the way, I'm not able to make it to KK today.
    With that being said, I did go to E20 last night and the car is faster than before, single digits now.
    But definitely room for improvement though.

    As some already know and others will come to know, Tony (aka Dtony) has had a catastrophic failure, let's pray for a speedy recovery...

    Thanks, hoping to come up with a plan soon. Just not sure how fast it can materialize due to the amount I spent on this build. I will start with a tear down and see what is salvageable.

    Good luck guys.

    Do you have the other short block or was this built using it?

    I don't have another one. When we pulled the old one down it had a slight crack in a cylinder. It had been using a little water for a while, I guess that's why. Definitely won't put it back in.

    It still be a coyote, just have to save some money and regroup. When it comes to race cars I'm a cash only guy.

    I am back in the game. New motor out today and will be torn down and repaired. In the mean time I was lucky enough to find a ford racing aluminator. I will be calling some peeps out very soon.

    Well that's good news. I hope that FRPP provided some partial coverage on the mishap. They provided me an entire long block once, after the replacement heads took out the short block at startup on my 02. I sent the head in question back, they analyzed it and said it was their fault. Sent me a new long block less intake and let me even keep the one good head. I gave that to a guy on here some years back after I sold the 2002. Never had an issue with FRPP or whatever they call themselves these days other than they are a bit pricey.

    My block was from a builder that put in darton sleeves. I'm not going to speculate much until we tear it down. But it isn't a Ford crate engine that failed, it was custom work.

    Good to hear Tony! Hopefully not much is hurt on the new motor and is a cheap fix.

    gotcha. Glad you can get it back on the road sooner either way.

    Good to hear. Let me know what happened with the darton sleeves, we are getting ready to send an engine to them for sleeves soon. Going to have darton do the machining and install of the sleeves.
