Damn are you serious?!? Sucks to hear that bro. You and solider cannot catch a break.

Do yourself a favor. Part that mother F'er out, drop a 500 dollar stock 2v motor into it, trade it in on a newer car and get rid of it. the new focus ST's are sick, and obv. the mustangs are kick ***.

I don't normally agree, well actually never, but purp has a point. Time to maximize what you can get out of that car and move on.

#1 - Who put this engine together?
#2 - Did you do the math on what compression ratio you are running, both static and under boost?
#3 - What were you doing when the rod got damaged?
#4 - Were you monitoring Oil Pressure/Fuel Pressure/Air-Fuel Ratio at the time of failure?
#5 - Oh my god i'm sorry

Yea I'm not kidding. As far as who built it and ect. I built it. The build was fine the compression was just over 9 to 1. It was wot tuned to 7k but with no timing so it was safe. The problem has nothing to do with any of this. The issue was I hit a bad section of road at the beginning of the week lost all the oil. But I got pulled over before he pressure dropped and long before all the oil was out. But the issue seems to be after repairing the pan, that either the pan was pushed up further than though and may be against the pick up, or possible that I cracked or bent or otherwise impeded the ability to make oil pressure under high rpm is my guess. So I'm going to take it up with county, see if it can't be covered. No clue what I'm gonna do if they don't pay. Chances are good the rods and mains are shot , I would think pistons and cylinder walls and maybe oil pump. I figure 3-4k in parts and machining. In anycase it may take a while. I know the road is what did it which just pisses me off to no end. That being said, if I decide to part and you see anything you like I'll keep you guys in mind first.

Anyway what that would mean, I'd have 500 miles and a few Dyno runs on manley rods with arp 2000 bolts, kellog stroker crank probably would need a polish. Stage 3 heads and sc cams from mhs. Inside the motor that I guarantee will still be good, can't say about the pistons yet or the oil pump

The pan didn't look that bad really. Deep scraps and 2 small holes on the back side. No pictures, plus it was repaired. I'm only lowered 2.1 but the k memeber and oil pan are at the same level because it's a 7 qt
