    I might be in trouble

    well im F@#$ed, changed pump didnt change oil pressure and had to drive home. on my way something let loose and now it sounds as if a pistion is slamming into the valves and it has zero oil pressure now and smokes so if anyone has a used running 454 for sale that would be greatly appericiated
