Well that didnt last long
Well guys I guess some things aren't meant to be. Driving home from work and the motor shot a rod through the oil pan. Didn't even put 10 miles on it. If anyone wants a clean roller I will entertain offers.

Didn't get a chance to beat it at all. Was a little worried about the oil pressure. Cold idle was 40ish. Warm idle was 30 give or take. My wife's Camaro idles at 50 hot

Ouch. I've had those years too. One season I went through 3 motors in my 68, one of which was a fresh rebuild that locked up solid in under a minute of run time. Needless to say I learned to build my own motors after that
Don't sell it, you'll kick yourself later. You own it outright and have a garage. Put it away and cool off for a season. Make a game plan and hit it hard next winter. That's always seemed to work for me over the years every time I get fed up with my 68. You got the wife's car to tool around it. Buff it up and have fun. Worst case "borrow" the nitrous out of yours

Well as of right now the car is for sale. Unless the guy I bought the motor from come through then its going bye bye. I am in worse shape now then when the last motor blew up. This put a huge finacial hole in my pocket.

Man that really blows!!
Although if it blew up that quick it does seem like a build issue. I know parts due fail but typically there's some warranty for complete failure like that without any real abuse or non-typical break in. Sorry to hear it though
