I don't know if and you guys remember my old thread about pulling my motor. I got it out, on the stand.

I just pulled the oil pan and pump off, and I just figured out why it blew, and why my motor ticked the way it did. I have one of those cool two piece oil pump shafts Well I think I might be able to just rebuild the bottom end, and throw it back in a car, and make a profit off my second car.

My other car is a 91 hatch, exact same body as my 90, but the other car has a 347, which with slicks and a 150 shot ran a 7.18
