Investigation is ongoing. It has been three weeks since they took the evidence they needed for forensic examination. They said it could take up to two months, and they may never know the exact cause. I really hope they do, though. One thing for sure, shop 2.0 will have all corded power tools. No lithium **** in my shop, anymore. The wife wants a hybrid car. In 35 years of marriage, this will end up being our biggest argument. I don't want anything lithium near my property. At least not any bigger than a cell phone, that is...

If you look close, the bell housing completely melted away, and the trans disconnected from the back of the block. And yes, some holes melted through the valve covers. The fire department told me the building got to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
It was outside the shop, and not affected by the fire. It was sand blasted clean, so the water dumped on the fire covered it with surface rust. I have had it up for sale for months with no interest generated. I have another one in my 2nd donor truck, and won't be using that one either. I will be using a Ford 8.8 LSD rear end for the project. At this point, I need to clear everything away from the outside of the building in preparation for the building demolition. So, it got tossed onto the scrap trailer. I can't ship it, and being in a fairly remote area is limiting the chances of it being sold.

Even if they cannot pinpoint the cause perhaps they can give us the several possibilities. Even that info would be useful.
Guessing you married up (what husband hasn't?), but I'm with you on this one.

Familiar with that.... I am within spittin' distance of Detroit, and a few other rather large cities, so, just about anything I listed, sold pretty quick. Even some of the really odd and strange stuff, like front/rear suspension from a Jaguar XJ12.....
