Apparently. Ran good Friday for a very short test/tune.

Ran good for one rbor race. Then during the second race I suspect it spun a bearing. Metal in the oil and knocks. No smoke and still runs decent when it wants to.

His extended warranty company stepped in and is taking care of it.

Metrofab built buggy will back in action by next race :thumb:.

That really says something about the previous owner ;-)

If you got it out throw some 4.8 flat top pistons in there while you have it apart for some cheap power! (I have the part #'s if you want) I also have quite a few oem parts like cam, lifters, trays, etc if you need them. I kind of started hoarding LS parts haha

I picked up another 5.3 long block with a 6 month warranty (not by me) :teehee:.

Just a quick swap out, beefs got "bigger" plans down the road.
Got it, that's a really awesome thing of you to do for him.

Any plans for the blown motor? I'm going to need a 5.3 ready for when the 3.8 in my wife's JKU calls it quits..
