Engine rebuild help

[blwn89gt]

I toasted two pistons, cylinder 7 like I originally knew, and one on the passenger side. Engine builder is in the process of tearing down the motor for me. I’m having the injectors cleaned and flow tested for good measure.

Hopefully that's the extent of the damage.

I remember when I pulled the engine out of my 01 apart. I knew number 8 was hurt. But when I pulled the heads I found 2, 7, and 8 all broken. Oops.

I’ll have a better idea this week of what is going on. I’m waiting for my cams I ordered from kurgan. They told me bullet is shipping them today or tomorrow.

Well UPS ****ed me hard and my cams are missing. I’m ready to blow a gasket they were so kind to say sorry and they will launch an investigation, like that’s going to do anything.

Update !!! I got the cams !! Long story but I reached out to ward at kurgan who called his ups rep and the cams were found and all is well thank god !!

Dropped off the cams, injectors and 26 spline Input shaft. Engine builder said he was amazed at how good of shape my heads were in. They ordered me up a new set of diamond pistons, should be here in about 2 weeks and all new arp hardware.

Good news on the progress.

Yeah I decided to stay local. It was too much to figure out pulling the motor and getting it to PA from where I am on Long Island. I don’t have access to a truck anymore, I work constantly and staying local was much easier.

Finally opened the box on my Kooks exhaust and snapped a picture of the x pipe quick. It looks so nice

Hello everyone it’s been awhile but I’m about ready to embark on rebuilding my 03 cobras motor. After a night out I came home and noticed a slight misfire and smoking at idle. Found cylinder 7 had like 30lbs of compression and after shooting some oil down the cylinder and retesting it jumped up to about 90lbs which leads me to believe the rings are toasted. My question is do I have the motor taken out, torn down and redone or should I explore getting a short block. I’ve noticed MMR isn’t taking orders, DSS website shows nothing and the only place I can find a short block is ModMax Racing.

I’ll be honest the car made 660 to the tire with a 2.9 whipple and supporting mods and I’m good with that. The car once back together will be driven maybe on weekends with both my kids in it. I’m not looking to race or beat the balls off it so I don’t need a raced out setup. The way the car sits now I’d need to go e85 to make more power and I don’t want to deal with that. I’m in New York (Long Island) and I’m looking to explore options weather I have someone pull the motor out and fix it, or just get a completed short block. I’m like like have the heads done because the valve seals need to be replaced. Any input is appreciated

I don't know if I should post a link, but I just saw a complete Terminator engine and transmission for $1500 in the Facebook Marketplace in Houston. Even if it didn't run, wouldn't it be worth that in parts alone?

1500 seems toooo good to be true. I’ve seen people selling blown motors for more then that lmao

Just reporting what I saw. Not an endorsement of its legitimacy...

Started cleaning the engine bay up. It needs more time but I’m on very little sleep from work.

Here’s a shot of the other 2 pistons I wrecked. What’s crazy is the car still ran and didn’t make any noise. It just smoked a bit obviously.

Little bit of JB Weld and you'll be good to go.

I don't think I've ever seen a bent piston ring. Most impress.
