A new crate engine would be best. Remans always want cores and if you can't rebuild it, it isn't good for a core. That reminds me, yesterday we had a truck towed in complaining about a cylinder missing. Opened the hood an to my surprise the con rod was sitting on the frame rail.


fire ringing the head?

 

DOOOOD.......that sucks. Even knowing full well what can/will happen, it still sucks when it does. But, now you can build a new on the way you want. I bet that's going to be pretty fun.

When you do get to that point, let us know what you got. I'm sure some of us could take some stuff off your hands.

 

Not the likeiest place to find a rod ! There's a guy with an 06 over at the diesel garage that blew his motor too. He was running meth/water and many more mods than I was.

Yes, I'll being ringing it, performance cam, springs, injectors...etc. It will be badass without drugs :-)

 

Thanks chewy and everyone for the support. *&^% happens though and all you can do is move on.

 

so which is it going to be, nitrous or propane or both? What kinda hp you looking to get outta the new engine? I wanna see that thing do 4 wheel burnouts when it's back together

 

no drugs ! that's a sure way to do it again. I don't know what kinda hp I'll see but, I'm gonna do as much internally as I can. That outta be good for some major hp and or security.

I'd be nice to get 650 out of it on fuel only. I do want to keep it drivible though. I just want to be able to drive it to the track, race it and drive it home without being concerned about the little things. Yes, I know no matter what you do things will still break but, maybe not as much or as bad when done right.

 

There was a guy in one of the mag's that had an 1100hp daily driver (had the occasional blown headgasket at the track) course his was a 12v he put into a ford

 

triton. . .I'm gunna go on a limb here and say if you were hitting 1600F, #4 might have something like this comeing out of it

 

damn triton, that sux dude. just a question drew. but is 1600f like way higher than anything these things can handle and it just melted the piston? or was something else other than egt usualy to blame for this sorta failure.

 

I take it they had to use a press to get that wrist pin outta the piston and rod.
