I've got an AC Cobra replica and recently had my stock-stroke 351 replaced with a 427 Windsor stroker with:

- Reworked Windsor block
- Scat forged stroker crank
- Scat lightweight H beam rods
- Keith Black pistons with ET Molly rings (filed to fit)
- Elgin solid cam, split duration
- Stage III ported and polished TFS Trick Flow heads with billet aluminum roller rockers
- Port-matched Vic. Jr. intake
- Barry Grant 750 Might Demon carb
- Canton pan with windage tray
- Aluminum flywheel
- ARP fasteners through out
- Everything is of course ballanced and blueprinted

My question, since I've got almost 2K miles on the new engine and she's still drinking oil (qt/100 miles), is there any hope that the rings will eventually seat? She starts, runs and idles great, pulls smoothly and strong through 6,500 RPMs and doesn't smoke. She doesn't leak. The builder is prepared to pull the motor and go back through it, making any necessary mods, but it kills me to think about going through all that as driving season is coming fast. Any similar experiences that had happy endings?
