Show of hands

[MFIELD]

OK who wants to see some pictures of carnage?:D

[kennebellcobra]

Even though I've seen it in person and have some pics I bet yours are better so post them up.

[atbracn]

this can't be good.:eek:

[MFIELD]

I've got a couple but have to shrink them, I'll take more once it all the way out.

[Maximus]

Did you eat a piston??:(

[Maximus]

Stoooopid double post!!

[DeckerEnt]

My hand is up. Post pics. It is always fun to laugh at other's misfortune. LOL
JFWY!!

Did you eat a piston??:(



At this point that would be good

[MFIELD]

There are holes everywhere in the bottom end several in the pan, main bearing bolts hanging out of it, cracks in the lifter valley, broke the starter clean off, its laying over in the lower control arm. The block broke in so many places I cant count them all right now. It sucks, there was no sign of something going to happen, it was on a good pass probably a personal best and then a huge explosion and I had my hands full trying to stop and not wreck it. The whole under side and rear bumper were covered in oil.

[ibstrokin]

Dohhh, Are they stock, hypers, or forged?

[mustangjon]

ouch! :eek:

We should start a carnage section, for pictures of stuff that goes boom

[MFIELD]

Dohhh, Are they stock, hypers, or forged?

No, forged TRW replacements

[MFIELD]

Its hard to tell from the pics how far the front pulley is out of shape, its bent upward so far it hit my electric water pump so hard it bent the bolts and put a gouge in the pump. The whole front cover is broken out.

[MFIELD]

I would like to thank Rich for coming over and help tear it down, it was good for a few laughs.

No problem...I always enjoy looking at someone else's carnage...much better than if it was mine!:lol:

We'll have it back on the street in no time!

[Timido]

You should have invested in that Valley Girdle

[Timido]

Wait, after looking at the pictures I think the timing pointer is still good

[MFIELD]

LOL, so far the heads look to have survived.

[Rich]

You should have invested in that Valley Girdle

An engine diaper and some duct tape would have been a better choice!

[Maximus]

I think you JINXED your ass Friday night.....

"I dont have to do anything to it. Hell the plugs are from last year":lol:

JK guy.:)

Im sure a Dart Block is in your future and I have Layaway!!:bigthumb

[MFIELD]

I said that today, should've kept my damn mouth shut. I guess I got away with it for a long time. That motor has been together for about 5-6 years.

[Sparky]

It's a sad day for the little 5.0 that could. That engine has been through hell. I'm surprised it lasted this long. I forgot to tell you, I also have that 460 you could use...if I could find a bell housing and clutch assembly maybe we could muscle that bitch in for a temp.

[MFIELD]

We'll see, also thanks to big Rob and his friends for helping me get it loaded yesterday.

[dedpedal]

That looks remarkably familiar...

[kennebellcobra]

We want the good pics;)

[cstreu1026]

damn now you can swap stories with ackbar

[MFIELD]

We want the good pics;)

Ok heres a few more. Its ready to pull out. The more I work on it the more depressed I get. I am probably done for the year now. The tranny is broke and not sure on the clutch yet.

[Jeff88coupe]

Damm....you did it good. Alot of expensive paperweights:)
Fallback...regroup...rebuild it better for next year.

[R825OH]

That hurts to look at ..bigger and better is next!

[Rick93coupe]

Damn Mike, were you leaning on it pretty hard?

[MADMOD]

Holly Sheet!!! I would have to say she went out in Style:eek:

[MFIELD]

Damn Mike, were you leaning on it pretty hard?

NO more than normal

[Rick93coupe]

What kind of boost were you seeing when it let go?

[MFIELD]

Same as all summer 14#'s

[Rich]

What happened to the trans?

[MFIELD]

The front bearing retainer snapped off in 3 pieces. I am going to have to check inside to make sure nothing else is broken inside. The way my luck is going who knows.

[Rich]

Well... lets get my piece finished up and all of the bugs worked out...you can use it for the last race! Start your 408 big turbo combo early!

[MFIELD]

Thanks Rich but I think I'd rather see you get to run it, so we will get it done.

[Rich]

Thanks Rich but I think I'd rather see you get to run it, so we will get it done.

I've got an idea...I'll run quick stick in it and you run street stick!

Double the passes...double the fun!!!

[beefcake]

ouch :(

[MFIELD]

I've got an idea...I'll run quick stick in it and you run street stick!

Double the passes...double the fun!!!

Your awesome dude:bigthumb

[kennebellcobra]

I got a case of JB weld...I think we can fix it:lol:

Hopefully the trans is salvagable:angel:

[YouGotJunk]

We'll see, also thanks to big Rob and his friends for helping me get it loaded yesterday.

No problem man. I was just glad to see you get it stopped safely. It was on a good pass forsure!!! What's the big plans now? Dart block or another stocker?

[Silver Bullet]

Ouch.... seen that a couple of times!:(

[NXcoupe]

Wow! Reminds me of my first renegade motor. Only thing holding it together was the bellhousing. Let me know if you need any help.

[PonymanfiveO]

Carnage is an understatement!

sorry to see that happen before the last UMTR race Mike. I hope you find something else to race.

[12seclx]

Sorry about the carnage Mike... My stroker engine bit the dust 2 years ago and I remember it well...

Glad you got it stopped ok... Hope you make it back out this year... That's a super nice car!

[RIXXX93GT]

I've got an idea...I'll run quick stick in it and you run street stick!

Double the passes...double the fun!!!

That sounds like a helluva plan! I feel bad for you Mike, wish I had a spare block you could throw at that beast.

[Carl]

Wow...thats nasty. At least you didn't lose the whole car!
