ok the verdict is cracked block BUT its runnable i blew the bottom freeze plug out of the rear of the block, and cracked the block inbetween cyls 4-6 and 3-5 right below the deck about 1/2 - 1 inch inch down from the block deck. new freeze plug installed, tig welded the block up with nirod and put the trans back in. put a few leak stop tabs in the rad for good measure and i got 0 water leaks. tyen i proceded to take the car out on the street and beat the piss out of it at 9 psi. holy mother fucking shit the car is unreal  :D:D videos of carnage and street runs and a flyby to be posted soon [SIZE="5"] I WILL BE DYNOING THE CAR TOMMOROW MORNING WOOOOOT[/SIZE]

Didn't even see you had cracked the block; how hard/typical is that to do?
