Teksid shortblock, unknown miles. Considering the guides, chains etc have almost no wear and the heads look like they have 150k miles on them. I'm beginning to think my car had a shortblock put in it by ford at one point. The cylinders are standard bore, cross hatching is still present, with not even a hint of ridge at the top. Motor didn't smoke, or burn oil. Very tiny bit of what appears to be silicon trash in the pickup tube screen, otherwise it was very clean, just oily and dirty obviously. Pulled 2 and 3 rod cap and this is what I have. No immediate edges to grab my finger nail, and the crank could easily be polished up and put back with a set of standard bearings without anyone ever knowing it was touched. I'm getting mixed results as to whether I should slap it back together and haul ass. Financially speaking it would make the build go much quicker, however I'm not going to just wing the shit out of it. Opinions? I've built motors before but I SUCK at these decisions. lol. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/86gtbadcompany/IMG_0700-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
