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...
