Got the motor torn down. Short block looked amazing (the bearings looked like they haven't even been ran), especially considering how easy I am on it.....lol

My dad was over and he was like "I still see the cross hatch in the cylinders!"
I said "Dad, it only has about 6 miles on it."

I was expecting to see some wear on the front main bearing caused by the force from the blower. But there wasn't any. I guess that's why I wait on my engine builder.

All the valvetrain components were in as good a shape as well. Head gaskets have seen better days though.

Did LME build the engine or just do the reluctor wheel?

Any word on these yet?

LME just did the reluctor. I probably wouldn't get a motor from them. Not talking ****, just my opinion.

It appears that an aluminum avalanche arm will fit, and they save about 10lbs per side.

Such a badass truck. Are you going to bring it out to the October truck shootout at RPR?
