"You'd have to have one hell of an engine fire to melt a TQ body, I think allot of those "My TQ melted" stories are highly exaggerated, they are made of a heat resistant RIM injection molded copolymer, it's actually pretty hard to melt it short of using a blow torch on it"

I loved my TQ on my old 440 charger. Unfortunitly I let my bor use it while I was over seas, He loaded it up and it backfired, Don't know how he did it but the carb never worked after that. I even rebuilt it and had a pro take a stab at it.
