Not from what the PO told me... driving down the road and BANG it stopped. Seen it before on these and Jeep 4.0's, too. Was in a Ram 1500... junked the truck due to rust issues and miles (190K).
No big deal really... this block will be the basis for my new dirt track motor (after I get my small block going over the winter). Likely 13/14-1 on methanol, using a 5.7 or 6.1 crank, Eagle heads, Pankl rods, mild port work, sticking with the juice lifters (new Johnson-HyLift), Jones cam, likely some stiffer pushrods, Ritter intake... just want to see what a reasonably priced Gen III can do for HP and reliability for 20 laps at a time.
