Thats some funny stuff right there. I'm betting the missing piston is sitting on his workbench or desk as an ashtray.

Dont think of it as a V-8 missing a piston, think of it as a V-6+1...lol

ChaseDale3and8 · 11-23-2007, 04:16 PM

Maybe the mice ate that piston and rod assembly while it was sitting outside at the neighbors house! The swiss cheese version of the 350! ...Joe

Maybe the DPO was trying to make a larger version of the Volvo 5 cylinder

so did you call his neighbor and ask about why it is the way it is?

<looks in crystal ball> I see a police officer, a code enforcement officer, and 4 guys with white coats carrying a straight jacket and a syringe of sedatives in the neighborhood.

That reminds me of my dad's story about buying an old furd with an overhauled engine that had not been fired up yet. Dragged the car home and got it running, for a little while. He tore it down and found shoe leather for rod bearings. You can imagine the rest... What is that saying? "buyer beware"!
