Zipper i only paid 5000.00 for this engine running and put a cab on it and a dist it and ran it and went 9.39 at 139 on motor When i bought it off RJ the guy did'nt sayit was a offshore racing engine so that said i new i was going to tear it down and put my brodix heads on it nos cam 800 lift new intake and a lot of nos for some of the gruge racing i lkie to do. Ido have other races i do also. I couldn't pass up the deal on this motor for the price so i'm stuck with it for now so i am going to make the best of it and spray the hell out of it within reason.
The engine had been sitting for a long time and when i pulled it down it looked like new so i let the guy at the machine shop talk me into putting the same pistons back in and when i mean new in had no wear.
I still havn't heard much about the coating on the pistons.
Zip i will check into the probe piston and also been looking at CP pistons
