Yep. Still have it. Lots of tire kickers but nothing real yet. No big hurry to sell it. If it doesnt go, it will end up in something...Unusual. LOL

Yeah big bird is some funny stuff. :flipa:
I thought about contacting Forcefed about that motor and forgot about it once everything started happening. We will see what happens. Probably my best bet, have it completely gone over and get me on the road again.

It looks like there may have been a problem with the #3 cylinder for a while. All the pistons on that side have some kind of flaking or deposits on them. The left bank is fine and clean. Or the temps got way hotter there from running out of coolant.

Im curious to hear what caused it.
I agree, I really cant see it being the dragonfire

I doubt it could be the pump, since it is on one side. I bet it got way hotter in that head and damaged it. Probably ran it dry as I was trying to stop, the gauges only read water temp. So if it was steam trapped in there could have way hotter and not read it.

Here is a little update. I sourced a motor and trans from Forcefed, just need to get the money to the shop and go pick it up.

Good deal Erik.

Well there has been a change, Elite quoted us a price on a complete custom motor and I took it. Cheaper than going through the used one and rebuilding it. It will be a 16:1 compression, coated pistons, stage 1 cam, stage 2 heads, coated bearings (if I remember right) so many calls this morning back and forth hard to remember all of it. Jim is telling me that I am leaving a lot of power on the table. This thing will rock when they are done tweaking it! Ohh and an intake from GOGO diesel.

how long is it gonna take them to build your motor?
Sounds good buddy. I was down at the shop earlier and it looks lonely... and dirty haha.

I was told a few weeks. They still have my short block and crank that I bought in their moving sale.
It is a dirty thing. May have to see if I can get Jim or Mike to toss in a wash after the rebuild.
Im sure it will get washed dude LOL
I might even paint your grill while its in the shop too

If you paint the shell body color I will take care of you when I am there. I have been wanting to take that chromed front end down a notch. Side vents too. Leave the mesh and paint the shell. That is if you want too.
