Monsterbaby!
Did your truck's engine spin out? A guy that comes into where I work was talking to me about how him and his wife had gone up to Reasoner to the races, and I said "yeah, I know a guy that races up there. He has a ranger riding a 1/2 ton frame, and a 351 spouting out the hood" and the guy said that that truck blow out its engine - is this true? I was like "You can't be serious!"
So...was this guy talking about another truck, or was it you? =( =( =(

yea it's has a problem I think I broke a rod but not sure haven't taken the pan off yet, but thats ok they made me mad 
been warning them for three years to "don't make me build a big block" well they did so building a 532ci stroker big block, 
hopefully the engine isn't hurt to bad maybe I will put it in my wifes bronco. But either way I will let you know what happened when I get the pan off, it still truns over but doesn't start, and just before I shut it off was running very rough.

Make sure to post pictures of it in your gallery. Both the old engine, and the new buildup ^_^.
Sorry to hear about it, I was like "nooo!" when the guy was talking about it. Like Fishy and them say, breaking stuff is just an opportunity to go tougher!
