Well F my Build
Well - I got to have to worst luck in the world as some of you know my car has been down for 14 months due to a blown stock motor at 58,000 miles. Over the course of the past year I have been acquiring parts for my build.
I decided to go forged with MMR800 short block 9.5 to 1 compression, MMR 7Q oil pan, Cobra oil pump cams/springs/retainers, XTD Stage III clutch, Cobra 8 bolt flywheel, sniper commando tune, BAP, 60lb injectors, 3.12" Pulley, MRT H pipe, Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator, UPR lowers, TA girtle, used leather vert cover, new gauges, MACH 1 Grill Delete and pedals.
Car is at the performance shop and we have binding within the bottom end of the motor. Shop has been great to deal with and the top of the motor is perfect and sniper tune was spot on. The car run for 10 minutes then pop came from intake and a loud noise and car was immediately turned off. It now mostly likely will have to go back to MMR to be disassembled.
So much for having it done for early September. I am beside myself I did not even get to hear car run or much less drive it.

So the motor was bound up and they started it anyways??? Sounds like a dumb idea to me...or did they start it and then the pop came??? This sucks man. Dont really know the pain of this kinda thing but i know what its like to have no mustang for a while. Stock motor went up at 92,100 miles. Spun a bearing. Not cool. But this sucks man. Just hang in there.

It turned out that the tranny wasn't aligned up I need a new bearing for tranny because when they pulled tranny out there was no bind in the motor.
The good news is car so should running in a day or so
