Blake I hope u didn't mess the crank to bad might need a new one. Drop the oil pan and ull be able to see which ones are broken.

Long as the cylinder isn't scored too badly it can probably be machined.

I don't think ur walls are messed up most likly the crank is messed up, ur going to either get a new one or send it off to sbug cranks, if ur crank is very messed up it will cost more then to buy a new one. Don't for get balancing as well.

Shortblock for $1895. I have seen them cheaper. You could probably sell your stock shortblock to pay for new gaskets, etc or keep it to build.

im hoping so alex i found a new rotating assembly minus the crank it can handle 600hp so im getting that since everything is matching but the crank ill just have to wait until i get the motor out and tore down but remember i just bought a jeep for rock crawling so im not going to race it anymore they are rare and mine has low miles so ill just park it and drive it on the weekends im not doing cams im putting stock heads back on im leaving the same blower on

well when i bought my camaro i paid 4k, and a week later someone on ls1 was selling a ls1 camaro 5500. guess bad luck lol 8 k for a ls1 TA id be all over it if i had the money. between car and parts i could of bought it lol,

[406malibu]

not to mention the 30k miles... i paid that for mine with 89 on the clock when I got it, tho prices were higher last year before all this mess...

[punisher]

dude i seen vettes go for the price of mustangs lol saw a 02 vette going for 13k.

[bigworm]

i believe most if not all navigators are dohc yours is sohc but either way, the blocks are the same, you would just have to put everything off yours on it. also i would almost garuntee that the navi has more compression than the lightning, so that means you couldnt run as much boost. so i would just build wat ya got if it were me. or swap over to gm lmao

[The EnforceR]

correct....lightnings are SOHC.

[04_svt_Lightning]

well i decided to keep my block since it didnt throw a rod so now its time to start the new build its going to be a long road
