I seem to recall MC had a come apart with a 401 Hmmmmm. At one time i had a picture of a 360 http://community.webshots.com/photo/197187802/200793181hEVvkM with two broken rods and 13:1 pistons siezed in the cylinders.

Tell him to get on Pirates page and check the classifieds in Boulder there was a 360 for sale about 3 or 4 weeks ago that didnt sell.

Fuzz, I remember that happening, but how did you fix? I am gonna assume it was another block, crank, and rod?

[fuzz401]

the first mach shop put arp rod bolts in and never gave me the paper with how to tighten them so i did the factory spec and that was not enough the nuts came loose
this shop gave me the paper on how to tighten them and no problems
