I had rebuilt the engine from the above rod bent core --
then subsequently found a roller with 11K miles needing a new engine.
At one time I had 6 engines forsale, this was the last of that batch that hadn't sold.
When I saw this 11k mile car in need of an engine -- I put 2 and 2 together to get 5 :-)
I've been driving it off and on, the engine feels pretty stout. It's still in the break in period, so I only wind it up to 4K rpms.
When we had bench tested it pulled 225/230psi per cylinder cold with 1-3% leak downs cold.
My butt dyno concurs.
