Didn't take many pics but here is my start. This has 25K on the motor. Don't boost in 5th and 6th gear. Got a Teksid block already and going to build that. Will post pics of the tear down and build up and what the piston looks like. Oh, the tape on the car is so I wouldn't scratch it.
Pulled the motor tonight

Put some big ass cams in there.
Don't leave that yellow masking tape in too long, it will be a real pain in the a$$ to get off and leave a lot of crusty residue. Don't ask me how I know.
Cool man I'd be doing the same soon enough. Can't wait, it'll be a PITA but worth it. :rockon:

Thats what I was thinking, should have gone with the blue/ painters tape.
Crazy expensive but more chance of coming off without taking anything with it.
Did you just run out of the blue tape and switch to the yellow? I do like, though, how careful you were to cover everything. Best of luck with your motor project. Should be a killer power plant when you're done.
Good Luck with the build.
Good luck with the build!
....and getting the masking tape off!!!!

haha ya the tape is coming off today. Just put it on for the pull and I did run out of painters tape.
The 300 I actually just put the motor in the day after the Cobra motor went. I rebuilt it about 3,000 miles ago. Put the stock one back in because I sold the 720hp motor that I put in it. The motor was a .20 over, JE Pistons, Eagle rods, ported and polished heads and plenum. Tubular manifolds, TD05h twin turbo kit with 720cc injectors, NA rear diff, with 100shot.
I'm going to port the Eaton myself to play around with it. My goal with the car is to put a twin turbo kit on it but thats me just talking for now. However, I want to build it to think im going turbo down the road incase I really do.

Yeah I deff will take more pics as I take it apart.
nice pics and goodluck with the build. I'll be pulling mine before long. I'll be dropping mine out with the stock k member along with everything else under the car. I'm holding off until after summer because it is just too darn hot around here right now.
OUCH! 
Russ, is that the only piston damaged?

Wow looks pretty bad man What were you doing when it melted the Piston? well GL with the build.
Couldn't agree more with you Bob regarding the time he took to tape it off to avoid scratching or scuffing the finish. That blue tape works very well to prevent blemishing the paint.
