calling Roberto or Lee or SyTyJim when i was at the CT meet we had talked about running datamaster on it . Here's the deal i had the engine rebuilt and will be getting it back this week and when it's all said and done i would like help trying to tune it since it had 1 badly detonated piston and 1 flakey piston :( the builder said it could have been since they used a regular 4.3 gasket kit :fist: but i don't want to blow it up !!!! so if anybody local can help out please let me know !

hey how's it going man? what replacement pistons did you guys use? are you installing the motor? if so, it wouldn't hurt to check the main and rod bearing clearances with at least a plastigage before you reassemble....don't trust any automotive machine shop...i just went through this and it's a good time to do it now to prevent spinning a bearing....the factory specs and clearances are listed on the huryde site...mine were way off the first time around so we had the crank cut 10/10 and fixed it...some people here have spun bearings before break-in...also i'm curious as to which # piston was badly detonated and which was flakey...later
