Finally blew it up...
#11
UPDATE:
I spun a rod to crank bearing on cylinder 6, also the crank didn't spin freely as it should, main bearings seemed to have pits. Looks like I am going with Coasthigh's 5.1L shortblock and porting the stock heads for now. Anyone used Coasthigh?? Also bought a spec stg 2 clutch, trying to figure out what flywheel to go with and any other tips you guys have would be awesome!

You will need an Engine Hoist. You can keep the Transmission still mounted to the Engine if you so choose.
You will have to remove everything in the engine bay except for the Engine components to remove it from the top.
On average, with at least 2 guys, it should take 2-3 hours to pull it out, if you guys really know what you are doing.
Good luck, and "Congrats" on blowing your motor.
PS- What are your plans for Forging? Are you going to buy a whole new motor to build off of, what is your budget, and is this going to be a winter project?

You probably can. A Self porting is not an easy task.
You will need a number of tools. However, I am not versed in self porting, so, I would not know what tools exactly you would need.
If you want, check out SVTP for some how-to's on porting heads. I will try and dig something up for you.
Good luck man.
