Worse part. No. 3 cyl actually missing a small chunk at the side and I can see the ring. Walls are good but the cyl. is shot. To replace the cyl. I have to take the engine out, and once I do that, I'm not putting this anchor back in.
Anyone have a spare 454 Mag or 350 Mag laying around?
Time for a drink.. but I quit drinking and THAT'S THE WORSE PART.!!!
Good plan and a used 350 mag is on the "cheaper" side! You can even get a reman long-block pretty cheap. If you can get a complete engine for the right price that's best in my opinion.
When you put a new engine in be sure to do a thorough diagnosis of the fuel system ahead of the new engine. The piece missing from the piston and the head gasket is from lean/detonation.
Sorry for your loss...
