[QUOTE="7Lemons, post: 16504738, member: 184681"] I had another thread trying to troubleshoot my pcv system for excessive blowby on my '13GT (followed by smoking exhaust) and have since learned my cylinder #8 is toast :( , and I thought I'd make a new thread asking for suggestions. Most of what I found on the forum search was old, especially with short block availability and pricing. I did a compression test (dry) and here are the results: #1 - 165psi #2 - 172psi #3 - 165psi #4 - 176psi #5 - 175psi #6 - 178psi #7 - 160psi #8 - 35psi :( :( I really can't/don't want to throw $10-15k at the project, and was just wondering what the most cost effective (and maybe safe-er than with my gen 1??) options are for staying under 750whp as the goal? I was just about to convert to E85 and return style fuel system with dual pumps before all of this, so I'll be doing that after it's all said and done as well. I've learned from the other thread that it may be a good option for me to get a gen 2 short block and reuse my gen 1 heads and timing components (and everything else I already have...kooks headers, accessories, procharger kit, etc.). Can/should I use the stock gen 2 short block for < 750whp, or should I get a forged short block? I've read some threads with people getting a gen 2 short block for $1800 ([URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/forged-short-block-what-did-you-guys-do.1161295/page-3[/URL]) , but I'm having no luck finding it for anywhere near that. I'm not in a rush, if that matters. Also - I was tuned by Lund and running around 9-10 psi with the Procharger. Thanks in advance for any help/advice! [/QUOTE]
