Add me to those in a quandry. I hurt my engine last weekend. If my R3 block is hurt I'm pretty hosed. Can't find a replacement.
Seriously considering putting a Big Chevy in it.
.....and I was squirming watching that 9.0 deck R3 short block sell for $1200 last Saturday...... and that included the uber expensive head studs. Parts availability is the only reason I bought that other complete engine last year. Waste of money just sitting here..... but it's a risk to stay in the game.
