[QUOTE="SVTCobra306, post: 4240182, member: 19605"] Well, took off down the street yesterday, not really getting on it hard or anything, and at about 3000 RPM in 2nd gear Wham! Bang! clackclackclcank.... Pulled the motor and tore it down, #8 rod disintegrated, taking the bottom of the cylinder bores on 4 and 8 with into pieces, and the piston slid to TDC where it got whacked by the valves as they opened. 2 bent valves, the cam got nicked real bad by the debris, and the oil pan is screwed (hole in it). Other than that everything is ok, including the heads, crank and pistons and the rest of the valvetrain... I even drove the car the whole 2 blocks home. I think it's the mildest blown motor I've ever seen. Weird. Anyway, guess I'm on the hunt for a sportsman block and a 347. This time I'm gonna go all the way! Guess I should apply for a screen name change... [/QUOTE]
