My engine that is Seems like a few of my rods decided they didnt like being in the block anymore. I was on the interstate tonight to check out a few things. I do a pull in 3rd and it felt like it didnt have any power, look in the rear veiw and see nothing but smoke. Thought maybe it was a piston because i still had oil pressure and didnt hear any knocking. Get off the interstate and pull over, then i feel a little vibration as i come to a stop. Get out and look under it and theres a big puddle of oil. Then a flash light reveals a big chunk of the block broke off but still held on from the oil pan. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. Sucks that it went right before christmas. Well it managed to run for almost a year at 500hp, and made quite a few passes(one being a 10.91@128) I guess i will be making a build thread here soon. Probably will pull the motor out monday and post up some pics.

 

damn.........

 

Damn, Eddie. Sorry about the luck. I definitely know how you feel.
