[QUOTE="want2race, post: 15995772, member: 680"] I had the motor pulled to verify number 8 piston rings. I had oil in the cylinder, suspected bad valve guide seals but needed to make sure. It was indeed worn guides and seals. Motor had strong compression and good leak down test. So, I bought the car with the motor work already done. Built to handle way more power than it has. Wiseco 11:1 with rings dropped .300", Manley H beam rods, Boss crank, block was bored and honed then decked. Everything done right, except... The wrong parts for a true N/A only car. Car was never boosted, never will be. I want to go 5.2. Found a builder that is putting cross plane cranks in with oem GT350 parts. I can either rebuild my block with lighter internals, or sell it to lower the cost of going 5.2, although it's basically a stock GT350 motor. My stage 2 heads and cams with Boss intake is going back on. Mine ran 520whp when built. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
