Finally running after a year

[mike2225]

Long story short, i blew my forged motor due to an oil leak.We got it running last night finally after sitting in storage for over a year.It running N/A as of right now until the motor gets broken in.Then early next year were putting on the Speed Circuit turbokit.Heres a few pics of the engine bay and the SC stage II head and custom integral cams.(rockon)

There was a crack in my oil return line and i ran the motor for too long without any oil in it.It destroyed my crank, K1 rods, all the bearings, and my stage 2 head that i just installed.The only thing i could salvage were the CP pistons.
