Do you have a friend that builds motors? might not hurt to have a very knowledgeable person look at it with you for a second opinion. If your seriously considering the motor might be a good idea to pull the pan as well and have a look. This is not always possible but it does not hurt to ask.
I do, but I don't want to put him in that position (although I might just have to). He recently opened up his own performance shop and specializes in lsx swaps. Well the guy I'm planning on buying the 454 is selling it because he's taking the truck to my friend to get a 6.0.

Anyway, here is the pass of the motor in it's current home:

He did two passes before the track officials stopped him because of the leaking freeze plug. Don't know if it went out due to the run though.
