You guys will like this update. I haven't posted any pics lately so here we go:

For those that say side slinger prochargers wipe out front main bearings.....I show you this. For those that don't know this thing drives an F2 with no crank support. A testament to my engine builder.

Here are two pics of the decks on the block. You can see it was hurt pretty bad. I guess the cool thing is that it was hurt like this when it ran 8.99. Would have loved for the go-pro to be under the hood while this took place.

Here is a pic of the worst cylinder damage. The damage is from it sitting with water in the hole (I had no idea it was this bad). This was realized when I couldn't get the plugs out of it cause they had seized up from the water. Hoping that the cylinders will clean up with a slight hone job and a set of rings. If not, I'll just get another 6.0 block as the pistons are fine.

If you study the pics, you'll notice cylinder 7 and 8 are the only ones not really hurt. Weird as those are typically the worst. The worst where 3 and 4.

Thanks for the pics. Were you planning on attending the DFW Truck Shootout @ Texas Motorplex on 8/30?

You've put a lot of money into it why not go to a 6 bolt block/heads?

Blown, do you know what your truck weighs ready to run without you in it?
Keep up the good hard work. Procharger ftw

I was planning on it. But it won't be back together in time.

If I do a 6-bolt deal, it'll be $30k+. I'm not quite ready to spend that much on a motor. Plus I wanna threaten the turbo 6-bolt guys with a lowly 4-bolt. lol

It's 3870 without me in it. Last time we scaled it, it was 4110 ready to go down the track. I'm about 240.

You can do plenty of threatening to just about any vehicle at that weight. lol
