Weird i thought our trucks come with 2 starter bolts!

[flchub]

Had to pull my engine out of my rc today,seems #4 is starting to fall apart,while my mechanic was pulling the engine he stopped with a puzzled look on his face he says.....one starter bolt eh,wheres the other one?,oh it looks like it fell out,go figure ,classic to say the least.

He was able to pull the engine in 5.5 hrs,hes never pulled a viper engine before but it wasnt too hard to say the least even with a paxton on it.

Needless to say the engine will be forged,looking for 1000hp at the wheels:marchmellow: .:slug:

Should have it to the machine shop in miami later this week.

Thanks fstjack and stinker for all the info and thanks to krc performance for hooking me up with the machine shop.

Eh, not bad. I pulled mine by myself in about five hours w/o a lift, but in all fairness the intake and one exhaust manifold were already off.

Good luck with your build, bud.
