please help!!!! experts' input needed
hey to everyone!!! i have severe problems!! i just had a lot of stuff done to my truck, 1996 dodge! i had everything done. new 913 pump with the work done by dave's diesel. the pump is timed at 20* and flows 400-900cc's and claibrated up to 5000 RPM's!! kdp fixed, twins, head studs, oringed, 370 injectors, HD valve springs, oversized lines, SBC DD clutch, input shaft, and prolly a couple of more things i can't remember!! i got it out on the road and ran it. the twins are wastegated real low, boost-wise at around 45 or so, and the oil pressure was fine, water temp was fine, then all of a sudden i "poured the coal to it" and the more pedal i gave it the more it felt/sounded like it was bogging down, then let off and it died. I turned it off and turned it back on and the water temp gauge was buried. i pulled over and seen oil dripping from somewhere and antifreeze dripping from the intercooler. i let it cool down for a couple of hours then i got it to fire right back up!! oil pressure is still fine and water temp is fine. i am thinking my thermostat stuck because it was sitting for a couple of months and the timing pin is missing. any other suggestions as to why it heated up so fast and caused these things to happen??? please help!!

First and foremost, I would call up your supplier (Dave's Diesel). Tell them exactly what you told us and see what they recommend. After all, you just dropped a chunk of change on their parts, they should help ya.
Was the truck warm (water temp > 140) before you stood on it? If not, you've most likely stressed a cold engine beyond it's limits. I've heard of using antifreeze test strips to determine if there is combustion particulates in the cooling system. Check your local (autozone/oriellys/napa/advanceauto) for these strips.
