NEED HELP!!! CR BLOCK HAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT
 

As the title says, I have a giant hole in my block. :ouch: (I think #5) I bought the truck this way, Im having a hard time finding a block to replace it. I know I have at least one bad rod and piston. I did start the motor and it ran and sounded pretty good to me. :pca1: (for having a hole in the block) I only ran it for a few seconds, oil stated to pour out of it. Can anyone tell me where I can find a block? Also what blocks are interechangable? Is it only 03-07? From what I have read, the difference from the older 24V blocks is the CR blocks are stronger because of extra stiffining in the lower end. Will an older 24V block work?

welcome to the site:hellox:

Thanks, glad to be here. Kind of new to the scene, just bought this truck a couple months ago. I'm finding out a block can be hard to find. Seems like any other part is an easy mail order.

Engine blocks aren't hard to come by. Used and cheap yes lol
