I have never seen this before. What blew - what caused this? Did the block fail or did a thrown rod blow out that block? That is an unbelievable picture. I am so sorry. Was that an after market block? Did you build it? I just finished my new 440 and stuck it in my car last month - I hope I am OK. Wish you the best Man.

I dont have it apart yet but yes it has to be a rod .  No I didnt build the motor and thats most likely why it blew . It suposidly had 20k on it I just had the heads redone and put all the six pack stuff on it .   Plus it wasnt good that it sat for 7 years on the shelf out of the car . But it wasnt stuck so we gambled and lost LOL . Once we get it out and apart I'll post pictures.

for $1000 to $1200 any machine shop can make you a great short block. at least then you know what you got. Rene

yeah  thats the way i will go I was just hoping to  plug and play

[BigBlockSam]

hey

we used those manufactured motor places before. they'll do a short block for you . if you ask them and there turn around time was 7 days . so you could be back in business in no time . when i worked in my friends shop . we would have them do the motor for us and ask them to put on an hp oil pump . at an extra cost. then when we got it we would change the cam .

just got word back from my mechanic's shop they didnt pull  the motor yet . They pulled the pan though and it was the # 2 rod just broke right in the middle ?
  no wear on the baring , no problem with the piston or wrist pin ?  really sucks it just broke , then it went up and broke the cam Too  ! i

I guess it was something that you wouldn't have noticed while building. Go figure.

yeah once we get it all apart we will have to check it and the other rods for cracks ?

the car looks good

[moparstuart]

the car looks great just wish it had ran alittle longer .I feel better knowing it was a fine fracture (unforseeable problem) . Rather then i got swindled on something else about the car.

[moparstuart]

We went  to leo Mcgraws shop tonight to stuff the goodie bags for the HPAC car show next weekend. While there we got alook at the Birdable engine problems .
