Short block looks okay. But it needs to be resleeved. The resleeving and building of these 5.8l blocks starts at $7500 and goes from there. I am just going to get an iron 5.4l frpp short block. I can buy 3 of them for the price of one of these and make the same power. A little heavier, but o'well.

This car is doomed. I can't spend $8000 and then it gives out again and spend another $8000. This will be for the best I think.
