HELP Please
Well have been trying to keep this under the radar...but have to let the cat out of the bag because I need some help.
I am in the process of re doing my whole setup....mostly because of the last piece of $....,and to get ready for 2010 time attack season....well anyway....the motor is now in great hands and is being done the right way. Anyway it has come to our attention that the lower block of mine is cracked on the bell housing side....and that the previous...guuy...painted over this. So HELP...I am in need of a lower block for a tC ASAP....if anyone has a motor or this part PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Here are the pictures of what we found after removing the god awful red paint from the motor.
New Setup is Here.....https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...64#post3302164

wow, since when did you know this was there? could this be the reason why you were having issues before? good luck on the rebuild man, looks like this time you'll get the car stronger

We just found this today...and if you look at the other thread you can see that the valves were either not...or barely sealing at operating temperature. This should be very interesting now that it is getting done right...few months ago it made 371whp on a Mustang Dyno on 15psi and stock rev limiter....cant wait to see how it does when everything is working like it should be!

i dont know for sure, what i do know is that i had another buyer for the lower engine but he was told by Paul over at dezod that it wouldnt work since his is an 05 and this is an 09. I do know that the oil pumps are the exact same since he got that from me and swapped out his for mine. I cant think of a good reason why it wouldnt work but its third person info so who really knows. Pm paul or Mr.c and see what the deal is and if it can work. Ill pm you price if it will work.

what i can do is go out and get one...i know of two right now that is sitting at my local junkyard. I get hook up there. Just one problem they dont like to part out engines, they sell them in block form or whole engine. Ill pm you the prices.
