I have to check to see if he disconnected the heater hoses - which would have killed the water pump because the thermostat was closed, burning up the pump.

If the guy was telling the truth, it did not last long. It turned out that the guy lied about a lot of things on the car. (Steve Yanda at Yon's Racing in WV if it matters). It could have had a lot of miles on it for all I know.

I also believe that the motor from SUM-314454 (big block application) is the same motor if anyone had a broken one for me.
