LMM: My Carnage, and swap

[Harbin_22]

Got it out tonight. Going back with a stock motor. Funk had an extra LBZ laying around and just gonna swap all my stuff over to it and run it that way for a while. Here are a few pics so far.

Wasnt really to bad of a job to get it out.

Passenger side had a nice hole in it

What's left of the #8 rod

See the hole above the oil pan bolt. It broke the upper oil pan and adapter plate.

It should be running next weekend. Just get to work on it after work. Pretty much only using the block and heads from the new motor. Lots of little things to switch over

 

[rickettzusaf]

What about putting in LB7 pistons while you have it apart? Would prolly be a little bit more insurance than stock?

 

[blk smoke lb7]

Engine would have to be taken apart and reballanced for the new slugs,better to save the money and build his spare lower end he already has.


Aweful nice of Funk to lone that to you Kyle and good luck with the build,like i said ill be watching for your build thread:thumb:

 

[rickettzusaf]

It probably was jealous that yours is going to be built.

Just picked it up from funk. Gonna be some wrenchin this week

 

[madmatt]

was blown away when i got to my shop the other day and this rig was parked there running again,,, was crazy since it seemed like just a few days before i got the "call" she let go..:thumb:

 

[Harbin_22]

Got the heads off the old motor. They are both fine,but

#8 piston isn't doing very well(#8 rod broke). The break is really clean inside. Thinking when the rod broke, it took the piston with it? The rest of them look perfect.

Haven't tore into the bottom yet, but I will check all the rods out and add more pics.

It's not to often we get to see a lbz/lmm rod let go before the piston. Good to know its possible
