mopar crate engine

I'm just glad that one of the guys on the MOPARTS web board posted his problem soon after I got my car on the road. He drove his car for a while to break it in and then went to the strip to see what his car could do. He lost his engine because he didn’t think to check his oil level since he had so few miles on the engine. I went right out to the garage and checked the level and was down a quart. I just hate to invest so much time and effort only to find out that I have to do it all over again, at 61 years old, the moneys irrelevant.
