[QUOTE="JCam550, post: 15515974, member: 165892"] I feel your pain! I bought a beautiful 1993 Notch with a built 331 and a vortech. Kid told me the head gaskets had just been done right before I bought it. (That should have turned a light on in my head). Take it to the dyno and check the tune. Put up just shy of 500 rwhp (he dumped out early). My tuner told me that it was pushing too much boost and to get a larger pully. It was also running way lean due to a bad fuel pump. I changed the pump and pulleyed up. Retuned it to 440 rwhp. A week later, I notice coolant blowing out the overflow when I get into boost. Pulled heads. Found 2 pistons with chunks missing and the heads were warped. Previous owner must have seen the chunks missing when he "did the head gaskets" and decided to dump the car. Luckily the block and rotating assembly was unharmed. Full motor rebuild after owning the car for 2 weeks. People suck! [/QUOTE]
