    Ok, so today I apparently woke up and decided that it would be a good idea to over-rev my LeSabre :3gears:and break the connecting rod sending it (luckily) :pray: shearing through my oil pan and locking up the engine. :Dou: Could have been worse...much, much worse. Plus, now I have a perfect reason to rebuild my 455 with as many new and high performance parts as my pocket book will allow. :grin: I do believe I'm going to go through mostly TA Performance (big thanks to this forum for turning me on to them) for performance parts and just replace the minor stuff with stock.

    Right now, I'm looking for a stroker crankshaft that will make my engine what they call a "494". So, my question is has anyone had any experience with one of these or any complaints for that matter?

    This is just the beginning of the journey. I am still at work right now and have to tow the car back to the house. I can't wait to tear into that engine!!:laugh:
