My motor is done

[Mike M]

MMR called today and told me the good news. I am having it trucked out to me early next week.

Next I need a good E85 tuner if there is such a thing. If Marty wasn't 1800+ miles away (I mapped it last night) I would send it to him and drive it back.

Sounds like a mean stroker! so you did go e85 eh?

[dohc324ci]

What setup did you go with?

[Mike M]

I am ordering the Walboro 400 and new injectors. Other then a tune I should be ok.

What are all the specs on the new motor? Short or long block? :beer:
P.S. My current iron sb is an MMR block. I almost destroyed it. Knock in #3 cylinder. Pulled the engine after 3k, took her apart last week. Found a bolt in the oil pan... The bolt that is at the end of the oil pickup tube that bolts to the main. I remember thinking I have to check torque specs on that after making it finger tight and never did. The mouth of the pickup tube dropped and hit the oil pan. You can see a perfect circle worn into the pan. I don't know how it got any oil pressure. 15/17 @ idle and 75/80 @ WOT. All rod bearings are gone, #3 was pounding. Crank and mains are ok, new bearings on the way. Thank you Clevite and MMR!

I'm seriously considering it. I called your shop today and I got a fax machine or something. It must have been after hours. I'll call you tomorrow to pick your brain.

Sorry, I don't know of tuners out there. Maybe someone can chime in and help you out. Hey Marty, do you know of any tuners in AZ you could work with remotely?
