Oh, nice, a blown head gasket on the brand f-ing new crate engine. I guess too much pinging and running lean that I can't seem to clear up if my life depended on it took its toll on the chambers. Well ****, hopefully its just a head gasket, gotta pull it apart this week. I'm gonna hopefully get the money put down for those vortech heads, new intake, carb, and swap in the cam from the 383 while its apart. Gotta love GM's 30 day guarentee on their engines as well

 

don't think GMs 30 day warrenty is the problem as much as your inability to tune or stop the ping. the gaskets should be good for 1000s of miles if not 100,000s of miles.

 

if you have lotsa ping,use better gas, retard the timing...

 

kinda_low: This is your second engine in less than a year. Who's doing your tuning?

 

what the f is going on with your car i have told y ou many times to let me or chris tune your car. GM had nothing to do with it my motor along with may other motors have but a$$ loads of miles and don't blow any heads gaskets.

get those vorec's the intake and some heads gaskets and give one of use a call so we show you how to do that **** right

 

I'm the one doing the tuning with the help from people on here. No ones actually physically helped me out yet though Yea yea I know theres nothing wrong with the gaskets or the engine (until now). Well mike (or chris) you might have to help me with this one. I'll give Chris a call this week...I SHOULD be in the low 14s with just this new stock engine!!! its degrading having a high 15 second car (no offence to anyone)

 

If it's speed density EFI, call me. If it's carb, call ChrisFormula355. I'm not cheap tho.

 

ok i know it's a crate 350 but what exact crate engine set up do you have is it the 330hp with vortec's of the but stock 350 with like 250 or 270 hp?

oh yea for the love of ***!! take your carb off and give it to chris so that it can be tuned properly. i remember you telling me that you had the strangest jetting in that thing when we where at the track, and your timing was *** wrong and *** knows what else was wrong with that thing.
