Did the motor come with a warranty by chance?

Update:
the new build has started. The original WAP block and a Cobra crank are at the machine shop. I'm picking up a set of terminator pistons for free and I just purchased a set of Boss 302 rods and bearings through Tousley. Next weekend, the Mach loses it's heart again.

Boss rods and bearings arrived from Tousley
Gotta love good, cheap rods. I got the same set from tousle for my build. Im kind of thinking about picking up a spare set just to have around for a future project. Good job on this thing man, and way to keep your head up about it. :thumbsup:

what he said. Truth be told I've yet to see a Boss throw a rod under boost or anything

Man if it wasnt for bad luck you'd have none at all with this car man! I feel your pain though as I was in the same boat with mine for about a year. Good luck with it!

We don't have a boss engine. Their motors are more efficient then ours which is why they can go up towards 8-9 hundred. We will break them around 650-7 mark.

Update: Took a trip up to Gainesville and picked up a set of '03 Cobra pistons and some other engine parts leftover from a friend's old project. Rods and pistons will be assembled this week and await the block and crank to be finished. The '99 heads are also at the machine, being cleaned, decked and having a few spark plug holes repaired. I have a feeling this bill won't be friendly
