I might cry

Good food for thought I did have the pan off and let me tell ya that GM EOS crap makes a huge mess in the pan nice grey black stain. The cam wasn't destroyed but I did mic it and it was worn more then it should have been and the hardening was badly discoloured and was comeing off. It wasn't missing huge amounts of lobe though. But again I am thinking of pulling it one way or another.

The rods are stock 360 rods resized arp bolts and that was it. Nothing fancy done there. Its interesting on the math though my other concern about damage was the engine was supposed to have been internally balanced but wasn't On break it it shook like a bastard. I had to change harmonic balancers and flexplates and it seemed to have been fine but I was curious if the vibrations might have done some damage?

The first time I drove the car around the block when it was like that the 1 - 2 shift actully broke the rear tires loose a bit the car was never able to do that again.

Demon Seed: I;ve hear dof the block shop and seen them just never heard of anyone thats used them. But Campbell never did get back to me this week so I might give the Block Shop a visit.

I'm just having a hard time wanting to give the 360 another chance its been out 3 times and has been a PITA before it ever showed up, shipping from the States was a nightmare. I also dont want to waste money but there is more appeal to put the numbers matching block back in. I keep hopeing it'll appease the car gods and I'll have some luck with this thing.

Wish I had a boreascope but it wouldn't take long to pop the heads off one nite and see what lurks.
