Hell no on the LS, and not an oiling issue it looks like when the machine shop did a crank line bore for arp main studs, the got the bore crooked and caused it to eat itself

I havn't been on here in a long time but I figured I might as well update my post. Short story is that I rear ended a Volvo, got the car back on the road and then the ECU shit the bed so now Im doing my timing belt and water pump and a big single conversion. I'll be running a Borg Warner S366 with power goals in the low 400's

I guess I'd have to give you props for hanging in there with this car. I'd given up and moved on to something else a long time ago.
