There is an issue with low oil pressure when its fully warmed, so it will need to be gone through whatever happens to it. This is the Thompson SB I bought to replace the SB you bought from me. Thompson has offered to rebuild the motor to a 100% reconditioned state with new forged internals. The problem is ...after this $$$ swap ... I haven't decided if I want to spend the additional $$$ to have it rebuilt .... just to have it sit in the garage for who knows how long. BTW - the motor ran strong before we pulled it. No smoke - Knocking or anything....just low oil pressure. Let me think about it.... Thanks Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azmotorhead Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Like I said not your fault, sshit happens ya know. Let me know I'd be interested in it "as is" I've got all the guts sitting on the shelf waiting for a new block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe@cpr.com Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I see the general IV knock sensors still on the motor. You have to put gen iii sensors on it and tap the block for them to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
