Neptune, what did you end up doing about the busted rear main cap? Obviously you replaced it but with what? You have to line bore and re-adjust all the main clearances again?

Good luck with it, let us know how she comes out!

well after closer inspection, the 6 bolts that hold the flywheel on went to deep cracked the block too. so i ended p buying a 4 bolt 454 for $400 bucks and had it machined for the stroker the ordeal cost me $2221 dollars.. but im happy its over. what a nightmare! ill keep you guys posted...
