Piston and con rod dilemma

yeah, this motor at first we had to wear breather masks just to be within 20 feet of the thing, it was so rich then we switched carbs then we switched ingition, all in all we spend a good chunk of change in just replacing stuff and now it sits because ive got my dart to get ready for the nationals and my dad is gone alot, who knows maybe well get it done, course is it ever done? i think its not but thats just my opinion
