MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

Sorry to hear this but that's racing. I'm guessing you butted ring gaps taking out a piston. Or two.

Definitely a possibility. She's a hot mess at the moment. Moved it beside the lift and will start tearing it down shortly. Told Tatiana she's about to get a real education... LOL.

This sucks.

This is the truth I felt when I saw this posted on the 'gram

I feel like now is a good time to say that I have a flowed and tested set of 150lb injectors and a billet 7875, which is almost a bolt in for you, if you find the China gt45 had damage. If you don't take it, im afraid I'll try to make a jet powered skateboard out of it.....

If you have trouble finding a motor, I see LOTS locally, and I have a week off.

LOL - everyone is acting like my dog died. And I appreciate it. If things go well I will have this thing up and running again in less than a month. It's just an engine swap.

Just need some time to finish this job application, hit a car show tomorrow, and drop off my candidacy paperwork to run for office on Monday morning - once I clear my plate a bit I'll be right back at this.

More to follow.

Bummer, I don't have much constructive to say besides look at your injectors. Possible one stuck open/closed?

Autopsy time.

I'm also going to put $20 on butted ring

Mike, Sorry if this wasn't funny. It was intended to be. It was a dig at myself. I figured you all knew me too well to think I would suggest jamming a random piston, rod, rings and bearings out of another engine in.

Guilty of all of the above on the same engine. Joke's on you, it ran like a champ! Send it Mike!

Honestly? I completely missed it (swamped). So no offense taken, and I am hard to offend so... maybe try harder?!

Anxiously awaiting some carnage pics.

I have a thought/opinion, but I think you're motor is past the opinion point haha. Proof will be in the puddin'

Was it still running? No oily / coolant mess on the ground?
