Well that didnt last long
Well guys I guess some things aren't meant to be. Driving home from work and the motor shot a rod through the oil pan. Didn't even put 10 miles on it. If anyone wants a clean roller I will entertain offers.

Damn Justin sorry to hear ...that really sucks :(

Yeah man that blows. After all that. Were you beating on it or just driving and pop.
|
Didn't get a chance to beat it at all. Was a little worried about the oil pressure. Cold idle was 40ish. Warm idle was 30 give or take. My wife's Camaro idles at 50 hot

Man sorry to here, i know it sux after all the work put into it.

Ouch. I've had those years too. One season I went through 3 motors in my 68, one of which was a fresh rebuild that locked up solid in under a minute of run time. Needless to say I learned to build my own motors after that ;)
Don't sell it, you'll kick yourself later. You own it outright and have a garage. Put it away and cool off for a season. Make a game plan and hit it hard next winter. That's always seemed to work for me over the years every time I get fed up with my 68. You got the wife's car to tool around it. Buff it up and have fun. Worst case "borrow" the nitrous out of yours :D |
Well as of right now the car is for sale. Unless the guy I bought the motor from come through then its going bye bye. I am in worse shape now then when the last motor blew up. This put a huge finacial hole in my pocket.

Man that really sucks, sorry to hear.

Man that really blows!!
Although if it blew up that quick it does seem like a build issue. I know parts due fail but typically there's some warranty for complete failure like that without any real abuse or non-typical break in. Sorry to hear it though:sFun_bangdesk: |
