Bad news....

[Batman]

well the day after I got back from PA I went to move the car into the garage and when I started it the starter motor bound. Got it freed up, pop started the car and put it in the garage. Go tit up on the lift today and pulled the starter out. Well the problem was somewhere along the line of it's life there appears to have been a hairline fracture put into one of the ears of the motor (guessing it was dropped) which cracked and broke the ear off allowing the starter to hit the flywheel (there was alot of discoloration on the ear so the crack was pretty old), worse news is it ripped a bunch of teeth off the brand new flywheel I just put it in and the really bad news is it cracked the engine block and broke a big piece off the side of the block . So basically my whole engine needs to be rebuilt now because of a starter motor. I think this is the last straw, I am probably going to just part the engine out and put a stock engine of somekind in it.
