Okay I had a similar Matt Alcala situation the other day at Watson going over the motor teardown and inspection of my SB2.
Nothing is good and everything needs something.. of course.

Dude it sucks but in the end you won't spend much more if any than if you built it from scratch and it will be built right.
You do know the availability of Ford Sidoiler dry sumps is next to nothing right?

Dude, I am sorry to hear about this. I know how expensive these things get, and how all kinds of little things you forgot or didn't know you had to buy just magically seem to end up on your parts list.
I'm glad to hear you just decided to "fix it" like Weld. That is what I decided to do today as well, and everyone tells me I won't miss the money once I'm driving, so get driving soon. We need to find out if you have more power than Rob.

p.s. Shipka has a little 5.3 you could just throw in there.  |
Almost all his big parts are usable so I think you are in the lead.
Not that you want to be winning that race.
Never going to happen on pump gas. Now DG may go all in and then it will be a horse race.
But only one will be streetable
