Well you should be able to salvage the head and the exhaust/intake, and possibly the crank - so its a case of finding a 5M block....lemme do a little checking around....
game over.

The head is no good I don't think. We blew the HG last month and when we took it off the ports are all corroded with junk. Some assclown probably ran a stop leak through it and it's screwed. It straight edged out ok, but I honestly wouldn't want to re use it.
I have a buddy nearby who has a spare 5M, just got to figure out how to get it here.

Hm. Well would it not be keeping the head around as a spare at least? It shouldnt be terminal if it was running okay - might just need a bit of spit and polish, and assuming its still straight and true - it might very well come in handy...see my optimism already?!

engine block coffee table? twisted con rod necklace?

a bent and twisted 5M rod that's been thoroughly cleaned would make an awesome mantle piece :icon_razz
hell yeah, chean it up, seal it in lucite or something, sell on ebay as modern art, use money to buy a chimpy 6m
call it twisted stress, or mangled motor madness, or renegade rod....something artsy sounding

LOL well when my "art" gets big, maybe I'll do that. But I don't want no stinkin' 6MGE. I'm continuing on with my n/a 5MGE journey to a 14 second 1/4 mile like the trooper I am.
