Been there done that. Actually to be more specific vented side of block right where the oil pan meets damaging both caused by a rod that twisted and then broke about an inch from the wrist pin and again about an inch from the journal. Also one of the other pistons got reduced to the size of gravel. There were also places of missing metal up by the cam, but I don't think it got damaged.

Been there before, sucks hopefully you will have it back together soon.

Throw in in da gutter and go 'n' buy another...

if the heads are big enough that bitch will MOVE with a 5.0L on the Gas. Is that a smaller Dish too? MOAR COMPRESSIONZ

Lol rep

Who were you racing?

nobody. cranked the car up, revved it up a lil and bang.

It had to be hurt already then

id assume so, the night before when i was gettin on it kind of rough it was actin out a lil bit

150 shot is a crap shoot, some of them hold up, some dont. I think Brandon shot his for a while with a 125 but he wasn't making the power you were since you had ported heads and cam's.

yea im just hoping my heads arent fucked, i'll find out tonight though, pulling the motor first thing when i get off work

Yeah, I shot 125 because of the intake design horror stories. I got lucky I guess, because it had 145k miles on it, and I shot it everyday.

One side will most likely be garbage. especially if you had aluminum chunks in the intake. Sorry but he havent seen to many heads survive when I motor grenades like this.

+1 Ya if you had chunks in the intake, that side didn't survive. I've had one break rods and get stuck in the bore and save the heads but there weren't no chunks in the intake.

and it could have very easily thrown a chunk or seven to the other side. Thatd be a bad day.

fawwwkkkk i am not looking forward to opening that motor up..

really dont wanna have to buy another set of ported heads

I hope it all goes well for you.


Time for a 5.3 swap!

4v swap.

if the heads are fucked up im most likely going to do a 4v swap. itd cost the same if not less than buying another set of ported heads. and if i do go that route ill try to just do a ported eaton on top.

I know a guy that does good port work for a reasonable price. He just got a flow bench too!
