That sucks.
You going to just replace that piston or build a whole new motor.

I can't in good conscious replace just one if I am gonna spray anymore, even though a factory cast-crap piston is only like 65 bucks. I
I need to be forged pistons with forged rods if I am gonna blaze the way I like to. Our factory crank is good over 1000hp. I will have pistons and rods to match that crank if it is going back under my hood.

If I decide to sell the engine, I think a set of rings all around and new bearings along with a factory piston will make a damned nice 430rwhp all motor F-bod for somebody.
I can then use the $$ for something bigger...

Sounds like a good plan, can't wait to see her back up and running. Any idea on timeframe?

I could beat up on ya in the mean time though if ya want. Figured out why the trans was still fcked up, add one part up the line pressure mechanically + add one up the line pressure through tuning= kaboom of the trans fluid pump and destruction of the 3rd clutch pack. Thus why I couldnt shift into third at high RPMs, oh yeah that and knock out the ass cause of the new pulley at WOT was pulling like 6 degrees @ wot.
