Now that's a trailer we would all like to own. I am sure its a good feeling to get your precious car on its way to getting rebuilt. I know it would be to me. I cant wait to see how it all turns out. Maybe I should consider an upgrade before she blows! LOL

Yeah, Charles with Elite Transportation is the man. Talked to Brent Monday afternoon and the car is tucked safely in the shop. The B326 is being prepared right now. They will soon be pulling the motor and heads and sending me graphic pics of the internal carnage lol. I'm praying the heads are ok. If so its around 200 bucks at the machine shop for cleanup and testing. When I pulled the plugs there was no electrode damage, no metal at all in the oil in the heads/top end. And when looking down through the intake ports of the head all the valves looked fine. Keeping my fingers crossed! The actual install date for the new motor is June 3rd.

Man as much as you drag race I would recommend you forge that engine as soon as ya can. I wanted to but just kept putting it off because at year two of boost I was like if she was gonna blow she would have already. Ah.... famous last words lol. You just never know with a stock bottom end on these cars.

I did same with a Saleen blower but closer to 500 rwhp. I think this is first one iv seen with a m90 blow.
281 to 326 is alot more void for the m90 to fill (boost)
U will now want a bigger blower to fill them cubes.. ;)

UPDATE from Brent today:

Engine was pulled, disassembled, heads were fine thank God and sent to the machine shop for reconditioning. Brent sent me a few pics. I basically snapped two rods like pretzel sticks on the same journal. Looks to be #4 and #8. No piston carnage, so for that I'm much relieved that I won't have to shell out 2 g's for new heads! That was just not in my December payoff budget!
