After destroying # 6 piston in my B50 block 331 T-Trim

At one point I ws going to part my car out, but the madness continues.

I ordered a Dart 364, will be taking the Vic jr's on a stg II porting expedition, new cam, new valvetrain, and so on. 3-4 weeks out on the motor.

Also ordered a PARacing K-member kit for the front. Its a bitch pulling motors in and out with a stock one on big LT's. It will be here Thur. Jason seems like a standup guy.

Going to keep the T-Trim for now....I have a big fat turbo eyed for the future.

Tmoss.............his ported lower is still allowing my combos to grow.

Did it mess up the B50 block? How well was it holding up to your power? How is the car used?

Reason I ask is I'm eyeballing the B50 or Mexican block for a 450-500 RWHP Nitrous 347 buildup...

Thanks.

BTW Tmoss my lower may be coming back to you in the near future, I'm gonna be going 185's with the new motor (broke a rod in the old 306) and the GT-40 match job won't be quite enough I don't think...
 
The motor seemed to be holding fine. I will be disassembling the shortblock soon. I want to see condition of the skirts and ring lands before I say more.

Car is mostly street oriented but has the driveline for the track also.
 
What sort of numbers were you getting with that T trim? N/m. What new numbers are you looking for??
I'm also getting ready to piece together a Dart 364 to go along with my new turbo set up. looking for 4 digit numbers with pump gas. Ed Curtis says it can be done so we'll see soon enough.
