last night i was in 3rd gear in between 4 & 4.5k rpms & shifted to 4th but started to come to a yellow light so i quickly braked & downshifted to 3rd again right away never even hit the gas in 4th & was off of the gas completely at this point. the rpms kept rising even as i came to a stop & i put the clutch in & threw it in neutral as soon as i saw the rpm's climbing. they stayed at around 6k until i shut the car off maybe a second later...& all the oil spilled out of the block. frown.gif i wont know for sure what exactly is wrong until i get the car up in the air but it seems like there's a hole in the block. i'm trying to gather my options....the best thing to do would be to either do a full swap or get something else? frown.gif i was not redlining in any gear neither have i ever bounced off the rev limiter in this car. it's a 95 GT w/ a gt-four front conversion. 90k original miles. oil was always changed religiously.

Ugh. Thats really unfortunate.
I'm not familiar with the cost of v6 swaps.
But since you've already stacked up 5s parts. You could find another 5s just as quickly and drop that in no problem.
