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.
So the new engine builder has a Dino as well, we need more clues,lol and I'm sure I could find some use for those internal parts should you decide to sell in pieces.

Dyno and the works. It's a bad ass shop I assure you. I am supposed to go there Tues and I'll shoot some pics and get details.

I am in contract to buy a house so that has the priority at the moment.

What parts are you looking for?

Yeah congrats on the house! Does that mean BMF will be finding a new home too? Are you keeping the heads and valve train for the new motor.
Thanks Shane,

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
