I was contemplating using the parts I have left over to start buildign another spare, but right now I just need to recoup some of my expenses. So I figure barring any issues with the short block I got, I'll have PMR's, timing cover, crank, crank caps (doubt they'd be needed) cam and lifters for sale down the road.

I think I would wait and save up a bit more and just pick up some forged rods rather then run PMR's

I have forged in the block that cracked- and they are getting reused. I'm selling the PMRs to someone who doesn't have PMS (Powerstroke Mod Syndrome)

I wish I could figure out why Danny's forged block went at like 350, and mine's at 450. On PMRs.

I dunno Joe- and the funny thing is, I talked with not Dave or Johnathan, and he told me that aside from normal wear, my injectors were fine!?! I was expecting something jacked up for the damage that was caused. Maybe I just had a bad block, who knows??
