Blown Motor...
 

Alright for those of you who dont know The motor in my car blew a week ago today.. i finally pulled everything out over the past week and found out what it is... my intake valve on the #1 cylender is in 4 peices... the valve broke around the groove for the retainer letting the valve fall into the cylender and, well gues what happenced from there... a peice of the valve steam about a 1/2inche long is completely imbeded in the piston... the piston is copletely cracked and seized in the block...

SOO, i am looking at a new short block and new set of heads (fairly stock) i cant spend alot of cash ill do heads later...

I was looking at either a 306-317 block who makes a good one.. and for around $1200-$1600 for the short block...
If Any one has a set of OK E-7 heads htat can be rebuilt ill see what i can do to take them off your hands

IF any one has any good INFO I would love it... OHH i dont think i can race a carlsbad... so i think i am going to do my 5 minute doccumentry for my Broadcasting class for collage, at the race way...

hey man, ive been trying to figure out what to do with me E-7's since i put my edelbrocks on. they are fine and have everything still on them. (valves, springs, rockers,,,) they are still dirty of course, but i think exactly what you are looking for. thats cool, because i dont have anywhere to put them.
the only problem is how far we are from each other. these would probably be fairly expensive to ship. i was going to port them, but id never use them so whats the point?
let me know if your interested. if you have a way to pick them up (i know its not likely) so i dont have to hassle with shipping, you can have them for free. if i got to ship them, ill need 20$ + shipping for the time. i think thats more than fair. the shipping might be kinda hi though, so let me know what you want to do. i dont check email too often, but sent me an email and ill get back to you as soon as i check it. dont have a computer at home is my problem and my company shut down so i lost that accesss as well.
let me know.

Patrick - Give Central Coast Mustang a call. I'm sure you can get a reasonably priced short block from them. I bought the GT-40P long block for $1895.

PATRICK - before you decide, you might want to check out Hawaii Racing - corner of Madera and Easy Street in Simi Valley. They've got 302 short blocks with hypereutectic pistons for about $1100, and with fly cut forged pistons for $1495. In stock.

Yeah... I know Musclemotors has a GT40P long blocks for $1799 I think with any cam choice you want of the FMS cams. And for a little extra you can get it in high compression. Theyre in Woodland hills, really close to you. Hawaii racing is good also, its on Easy street in SIMI.

1-818-888-7778 is muscle motors. If you talk to jack about the motors there tell him Skyler sent you, hes a nice guy to deal with and has done all my car parts.

Hey pat, just to give you an idea, getting my E7TE's shipped to me in 3 boxes (2 for heads, one for all the valves, springs, etc.) cost me around $70-75 dollars... but i now have 30k mile E7TE heads....definately worth it if Quin wants to deal you off his heads!

the local machine shop has some heads that are in excellent condition... for cheap.. i still need a motor though... i still havent found one, i am gonna call around since i dont have to be at work till 3:00pm (i hate working nights!) got my federal check yesterday and i am gonna pick up the tremic this next week. ANY OTHER IDEAS ABOUT A SHORT BLOCK 306 - 317ci?????
