Well I'm still not having a good day. My mechanic told me today the #4 rod bearing, whats left of it took the crankshaft out.:( I bought a new crankshaft today and I couldn't find a used crank. Chrysler wanted $6,095 and I found one for $4195 and $3695 and a new crank for a hell of alot less than that.

Long as the motor is apart I'm going to put in better parts and a 710 cam. I'll let you guys know how the build comes out.

Hope things start getting better for you soon man.
 
Damn for that price you could almost buy a full motor!
 
I hope when you are done all the pain and suffering will be worth it.
 
I'm sure if I shelled out that kind of dough on mine, the wife would want something in return..like a trip to Hawaii.

Good luck and hopefully back on the road soon..

Im pretty sure the only thing my wife would want in return is a divorce
 
Sorry Man.....
 
I know someone that has a complete motor with heads with LOW miles on it for less than that crank cost
 
Thanks Guys!... Only two more years of payments and to think I only had two payments left on my truck.:( I'll let you guys know how the build turns out.

When I put 2 holes in my block last year, Dodge wanted 18K for a replacement engine.

Check with Tony (JTS) to see what he might be able to get for you.

Ditto on that. I'm not pretty sure though. I am almost certain she would have divorce in mind. My wife would have an out of body experience. That's when you lie lie lie lie lie lie lie......

No no it's 6K and it lasts forever and makes it invincible.
 
I know were an engine complete with heads with only 14000 miles on it for less than that new crank was lol:dontknow:
