Did you put the 4.2 together yourself?
I'm also waiting to see the V6 fanboys come in and knock anything with 8 cylinders.

well i went down to the garage last night and it started right up. At first the rockers were pecking just like they did when we swapped it. Then they stopped and it sounded normal. Didnt drive it anywhere though im not going to until tomorrow. We think the oil pickup tube might have possibly come loose. But maybe its not completely blown cuz i really want the m112 on it. Oh well, we'll tear it back apart this weekend and see what the problem is.

This sucks....I just blew my 4.2 stroker up. I was going up a hill and it started knocking and my oil pressure went away completely. Now it wont even crank. So I think im going to sell my m112 setup and get a wrecked gt,mach 1, or cobra and put the motor in my car. Im tired of blowing up v6s....this is the second one in less than a year.
Where did you get the stroker kit from?
And who tuned it?

SOunds very strange to lose all pressure and then be back up to snuff in a day or so, other than tapping due to lack of oil. Definately make sure nothing migrated in during the swap.
