Yep, good stuff!

Didn't think about the boom tube causing a lean condition but that makes sense. We shoulda thrown some race gas mix in the tank like we do at track days, but then then it wouldn't be a "street car" for RTTC.

In all seriousness, it was not too bad of a result. And I knew I was on borrowed time for awhile. We hoped the pistons were the only real damage and the heads are being disassembled/inspected now but besides the valves didn't look too bad.

I need to decide whether to sell the parts individually or throw the motor back together and sell as a long block. The new motor will only use some of the accessories of this motor - all key parts/internals will be new/different/slightly used stuff.

And the new motor will be built and tuned on the dyno by a PROFESSIONAL.
