As far as the gas in the crankcase, could have been a faulty injector leaking down over a period of time and non-intentional.


Judging by the fact the technician wasn't able to face the owner, i am willing to bet it was something he did. Not to mention the fact that he was supposed to be changing the oil... would leave me to believe it was intentional.

I am going to be doing the wiring and helping with the engine reinstall. I spoke with my dad yesterday, and I still don't have clear picture of what is going to fill the engine compartment. Since this was a surprise purchase I know its going to be on a budget, and although I heard talk of an LSx while we were ripping out the TPI, I don't honestly foresee that happening.

Personally, if it was mine I would do a 383 with a machined LT1 intake.

In any event, later this week we are going to tear down the TPI motor and check out the internals. There is a slight possibility that maybe this thing only ran for a couple of seconds before catching fire and the bearings aren't going to be wiped out. If so maybe a low budget refresh and a small cam... In any event Ill be sure to post more pics!
