Whenever we started it and moved it, there would be a small puddle of oil with bright green coolant in it.  I think the oil cooler hoses were routed properly, it has a turbo saver kit and a pre-luber plumbed in there as well.

you need to find out where it is leaking from and you need to check the oil for signs of coolant in the  oil

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Frustrating to say the least, it's in Don Cruz's hands now.

Getting a new block, girdle, XFI, TR6, double pumpers...

Right now I'd be happy with just running reliably...

#6 was "real bad" and #1 was "bad".

I went back and checked your build. I see no mention of a hotwire kit for the fuel pump.

It has one.  Racetronix I think.

Why the need for a new block and XFI?

Don said the block was damaged and I basically had three options.  Epoxy it and wait for it to blow up in my face, or work it and the pistons, or just replace the damn thing. 

A few people I know have it (XFI) and swear by it.

We are also upgrading the alky system since Julio is local to him.

Sounds like a plan for long term. I hope it works out. I bet it is a beast when you get it back.

This will be the 4th motor...let's hope so.  I'm really concerned now about what's actually in the motor (or what I was told would be in the motor but actually isn't) since the 3rd builder has decided to play a disappearing act and gone AWOL.  That's the other part that sucks about living so far away from people is I can't just show up at their door.
