Thank you for the info. That's why I'm on here to find people who know what they are doing. I've never gone into a mod motor. Always ended up with a stang that had good motors and did alot of bolt ons and full chassis upgrades (upr). I'm a certified Yamaha Tech(which I don't even use anymore). I'm on of those guys if I take it apart I can put it back together- sometimes with a lil help.lol. I'm just seeing if what I thought was the right course of action is on this same lines as most of yall. I'm no stranger to sank 4-wheelers or sxs and I figured it's the same concept just on a bigger scale. I'm sure I'll be in touch with you for advise if you don't mind.I'm about to rebuild my first mod motor. Back in the day I had a small biz building cars and engines for guys...lots of strokers, nitrous, fogger and vortech's from low boost to full tilt cog drive t-trims.
I've been researching and learning these mod motors and I'll say this, if you want to rebuild yourself it's not impossible but you will certainly need a good machine shop that knows their stuff and these engines in particular.
The iron block is more forgiving when it comes to a lot of things but you still need to make sure that everything is measured and in spec. That said, I would expect that a full tear down and reassembly with minimal machine work would be sufficient, depending of course on what the condition was prior to flood.
Bottom line is, either change oil and run it to see how it goes or pull it apart and plan on having heads checked with a valve job and possible guides plus at a minimum a hone job and new rings/bearings.
