Himes is cheaper in long run to fix it RIGHT and go on with life those stitch pins and all are ok if you want to get out of Mexico City and get back to the states but are not a REAL fix--there are threads everywhere NO blocks--fix it right and be happy
Hey--I had a state owned auction dodge PU with a 360 cast crank broke in two --it RAN --did not like it but would still take you to the store for beer run--lots of stuff will "work" but just do it right
You may wind up with 2K -$2500 in it so what? that is a good day in Hemi world
