Those of you that were at the track at the weekend will have probably seen me get the car as far as the burnout pad and come to a complete hault. Well dave b took the engine out to find the following results....

Basically the whole thing is scrap,

The block is cream crackered, the cam snapped into 4 pieces, one of the pistons disintegrated,
a conrod punched a hole through the top of the block, heads are knackered etc etc.
Although quite impressively the conrod bent 90 degrees but didnt snap.

Theres a technical term for that amount of damage Andy, But as theres kids reading I won't mention it!
Thats one broken motor! Still, you managed to save the Valve covers........... & the thermostat!
It does illustrate just how thin cylinder walls are though, whats your plans? 426 Hemi?

wow really did do a proper job on destrying that

that dont look very nice boz

what you complaining for? thats just wear and tear just get it rebored and you on your way haha
that has to be the worst engine i've ever seen

Technical term : FUBAR
That is one beat up motor Boz, didn't know a Mopar would rev to 15,000
What's the plan ?

In the words of the great andy barnes, "PROPPER JOB" ! hope you can get it sorted soon bozzy

Christ Boz you've knackered that one mate

Looks well and truly Donald Ducked !!! Bad luck Bozzy, but Im sure you will be back soon!

$hit Boz Sorry to hear about your motor. I hope you can get something together soon , theres plenty of Pentastar guys around and of course lots of parts too , but of course you know that.

It maybe an excuse for a HEMI , I must admit I like the idea of a BAE Hemi....

Let me know if i can help at all , $hit happens dude..

Thats a fair mess Boz, i promise i will keep away from the burnout area when your about next time!

The water in the headers was the first bad sign but i wasnt expecting that much carnage. Hope you get it sorted out soon!

Wayne if the engine fairies ever leave you a BAE Hemi i know of a set of frame rails looking for an ally blocked chevy

MSD with rev limiter on the new motor me reckons Boz

The motor ran well up to that point,but could of been together 10years,who knows

We're gutted for ya Boz . I'd take Dave B's advice and fit a rev limiter of some sort, though it's easy to say that in hindsight. Unfortunately breakages of any sort are an occupational hazard once the bug to go faster has bit. Hope you get it sorted soon.
Tig 'n Cath.
PS. Not sure I'd class going to a Hemi as an "upgrade" ( JMHO of course )

tough luck Bos hope your soon sorted Ian and Claire ...
