The inside of the engine looks like it was coated in BBQ sauce and char-grilled. Never knew they used arched pushrods. :stumped: lol

I've never seen a better candidate for a 3-53 swap :dunno: never had to deal with anything Detroit before but the 6.4 is not as bad of an engine as everybody makes it seem though. i mean its definitely no 7.3 but its still a hell of a lot better then the 6.0.... or even Chevy's lb7 or lly duramax pos ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2855264/images/LWddOAB0xzBoQF0vWFNh.gif) ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0741.jpg) :dunno: how could you mistake a bent push rod for a hole in the piston :dunno: char grilled bbq sauce :censored: ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0742.jpg) ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0743.jpg) ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0744.jpg) ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0745.jpg) hmmm, you think one of these might fit in a late 70's ltd ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu74/ososlow06/SAM_0749.jpg) needless to say, once i got the head off there was no whole in the piston. in fact, the cylinder bores still have a perfect crosshatch on 'em. the camera just walked out the door though so no pics till tomorrow

Just wanted to say thanks for posting so many pics. A friend of mine had an injector go on his diesel a while back and he told me what the dealer charged. I was like "holy $#!+". I've never messed with anything diesel, so now I'm seeing it's quite a different story than the injectors I'm used to.
