I meant melling oil pump.To pissed to even think

Im not sure what happened.Its a new motor. Im to bummed out to enter the garage.Ive been working on this car for 3 years and this is what happens. Im not sure what to do.maybe Ill try to find another running motor and trans,Something I can drop in and go.

Just a disappointing update. Back in the garage trying to tune the holley and at some point the milidon oil pump quit working and it sure sounds like it did some damage.This is the only luck I have.I think Im done.
