So. Much. Copper.

ಠ_ಠ

If I had 12k invested and opened up my engine and found that, I would be collecting all of the torches and pitchforks I could find.

Cam lobes, cam bearings. rockers, lifters and etc all need replaced now.

Charlie the LS swap is a good choice lol or a turner short block

It looks bad indeed. Hopefully Cannibal will make it right.

Yes I wish someone would tell me how to do it. Hahaha. Actually I know, but I'd have to put some big boy britches on for that project. It would vastly pale my other projects.

You just have to jump in and do it Charlie. Just like putting that 5.0 in my MGB it's been a hell of a learning curve.

Torn between asking Cannibal or Charlie to do my next rebuild. Any advice would be appreciated since both in Texas.

I'd go with Charlie when the motor blows he would at least feel bad.

That's for sure. I haven't screwed up Number9's engine yet and I already feel bad about it!

The good news is that I already screwed up my own engine so I have a ready replacement when the inevitable occurs.
