    Can't PM you so if you can email me at [email protected] I can get you prices. Engine has a little under 24k miles on it. I can sell it with Roe supercharger as well if you are interested.

    From his last post, it looks like he might have sold it.

    It did sell, no it was not on CL for 8K. Glad it's going to someone who has the time to bring it back to life.

    well know I know.... it's ugly for sure

    The truck has a new home, the new owner let me know what he found....

    the number 5 piston rod snapped off the piston which caused a catastrophic failure and destroyed the block (hole in the side at the passengers engine mount. There was nothing left of the piston and valve from that cylinder just small pieces in the bottom of the oil pan. Block is scrap metal.

    Good news is, the new owner is going to get it back on the road.

    Farewell VTCOA.... it's been a blast.
