Ok I got news!!! Took my block into machine shop finally! Turns out its a bad block? Weird it was running perfectly before. O well. Found a new block for 50 buck off Craigslist that I'm going to rebuild before installing it but to other news look what I just picked up
88 v6 auto sr5. Just going to sale it when I'm done fixing it. I'm more of a 4 cylinder guy.

Honestly? You'll get that from the rims and bumpers if you part it out! Not saying you should.... but sometimes, parting these out(if most of it is in good shape other than motor) can yield you more! ORRRRRRRR, you could start building a long travel beast, ... just sayin! lol. Maybe slap a 3.4 in there, TC kit, Chevy63's in the rear, call it a day! lol.

Went to pickup the block this morning and left fishing. Just got back and looked over the block not so sure if this Is an earlier block or something but the pistons have a cup/ring on top so what to do now maybe on the look for another block or what do you guys think? I read some forums saying these block won't fit later models Heads or maybe I'm going crazy here
