My friends dad had one in his truck and it just blew, if the block is not cracked, I plan on buying it and stripping it down.First I will take it to that place around here (can't think of the name) to get the bores cleaned up and get it acid bathed and then have all my rods and pistons remanufactured.Then I plan on getting the 4.2 stage 3 h/c/i from super six.Next, I want to get the best of the best in the things that make the engine run, alternator, water pump and all that.(Plus if I have a complete motor I can get back a bunch of core charges on these items, win!)Performance plugs and wires, and probably msd ignition, distributor and such. Unless someone has better suggestions.Going to try and find a rebuilt t-5 (I am pretty sure that's what we have, confirm for me atlanticblue98, I Know you know everything <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />)Getting an aluminum drive shaft, dropping in an 8.8 from a gt with limited slip, and probably just the same gearing i have now, 3:27 because I am on the high way alot.Open to suggestions still, help me out here if I am making any mistakes.
