    For those that don't know I blew up my engine about 2 weeks ago driving down the freeway wasn't in boost it just blew a piston on cylinder 6.

    Cause was a lifter that caused the pushrod to bend which in turn the valve hit the piston and shattered it completely. Had a lifter tick but never got around to it. Was waiting to get some parts in to add the 130 springs and double roller.

    Mods that where on the 40th.
    Vs cam
    Ported heads by me not a pro but did notice a great improvement.
    90 springs
    L67 block
    Gen v
    2.8 pulley
    N* setup
    Zzp old school full stack phenolic ic
    ls7 lifters
    Ported lim matched to the heads
    8 rib setup
    60 pound injectors was currently running 91 oct
    prj wires and fp rewire and aem e85 pump
    autolites 104s
    Slp headers
    Borla catback
    polyurethane mounts everywhere with shorter dog bones
    Built trans with a 3.29 setup.

    The Damage. Took it apart the next day in my front lawn.












    went to san francisco to pick up a l36 for free. Took it all apart to Clean it and swap the parts. Still in progress need to get the gaskets for the block. Only thing new for the l36 is the 130 springs, double roller and machined cover, l32 valves, slp 1.8 rockers to help my top end and tune for e85 with the higher compression on a 2.55 pulley. Also new ls7 lifters and welding silencer ports on the gen v.


    The l36 block and taking it apart for the rebuild.
