Exclamation blew my motor, need help!

well i had a thread on here about a week ago about oil in my coolant, turns out its not the oil cooler, saverly cracked block near #6. any suggestions on the rebuild would be greatly appreciated. i just bought a new updated block, and ordered some 03 pistons becuase i hear they are the best ones for our motors. anything suggestions would be nice on what else to do since i am gong to have the motor built instead of baught. thanks.

Check out one of the F-1 dealers- you can get a helix cam and a mechanical cummins fuel pump while you're at it.

I had Scheid Diesel put a different cam in mine when they built it. Not sure what it was now but you can also call them and see what they have to offer.

now would be the best time to put in a nice cam and p-pump the truck if you wanna make some nice power, then sell off your drag comp, and hrvp44, and smarty tuner for cash to put in the motor

"Large reductions in maximum exhaust gas temperatures and smoke are immediately noticed. Increased throttle response and pulling power."

I suggested the cam so you can get a bulletproof mechanical cummins lift pump. Lots of stuff you can do while you're at it- porting, o-ring, cam,.... I'm not the most knowledgable guy, but this is the stuff I'd want done if I were in your shoes
