I had a head bolt break and make it down to the crank, The crank grabed it and pushed a small hole in the drivers side of the block, at that time i started loosing oil pressure, buy any chance is there a oil jurny in that area, the hole is right beside and about flush eith the oil filter, any help would be great , Thank you, Clint

A picture is worth 1000 words and in this case would be most helpful with any diagnosis.
Thanks.

If you got to replace it, might as well go for the 400! I found a whole semi truck that was driveable for $5500.

Sounds like you already have it apart... for the work,,, I would second the above guys,, find a 350-400 small or big cam and transfer your stuff on there... Turbo, oil squirters etc... If you had a head bold break (they are known for that) and it made its way to the crank case, sounds like that hole may be stripped out or other serious damage. Your really going to go through the same amount of work either way... Heck,,, if you find a donor semi,, you may even luck out an find a 9, 10, 13, 15, or 18 speed tranny.... :driver:
