Well my car had sympathy pains for you last night and lost 2nd gear in the trans so if your trans is ok maybe we'll just stick my 500" motor in your car.
Trany problems, oh how I can relate to those. I've been there more than I care to imagine. Sorry to hear about losing 2nd gear.

HA! You might be right Wild Bill. But to answer your question, dad hasn't taken the motor out yet to see what exactly happened. Well, he hasn't told me atleast. So not sure just yet. I'm still waiting in the waiting room for the update LOL!! Sorry, my oldest was bummed when she got the news. Her words "but your car just went through surgery mom"...

Do you think your sister would notice if you took the motor out of her car?

Are we ready to start a 2009 carnage post yet? I'm already aware of at least 2 motors, and 2 transmissions.
Sorry about your bullet - I just smoked my trans on Saturday.
So does this mean that there's another Moparts curse floating around this season??
I hate hearing about trany problems. I was a victim of those for two years in a row. We finally got past that curse and now lost the motor.

I'm assuming that the car broke at the track, if so what happen
Not sure yet what happened, we just got home from Charlotte on Sunday night.
But yes, it did break on the track right before the finish line during my qualifying pass with Rich for Pinks All Out. I could have walked across the finish line I was so close to it. Right now from what happened on the track we think it might be a rod, and we know that it put a crack in the oil pan. So pretty sure there is damage to the block, but not sure how bad.

You can tell that Chasity didn't build the engine; cause she would have been out there at Midnight Sunday night taking it apart to see what happened. You guys all know I am right
HA! The only part of that engine I'm allowed to touch are the trany bolts. The engines in both cars tend to be dad's babies since he is the crew chief and mechanic. But trust me, with all the work that we have done over the past month, I have been asking dad everytime to lend a helping hand...

I was just razzin ya Chas. Like the fella said; when you go through every thousandth of an inch in a engine and something lets go; it will eat at you till you figure out what happened. When I ate a lifter at Columbus last year; I had the engine apart before it went in the trailer
I hear ya Eric. No harm done LOL!
Well, we got to look at things tonight and the block is toast. Looks like we spun a baring and then it took out one of the pistons which put a HUGE crack in the block. For thoes of you that remember me cracking the trany down there at Edgewater, you know that when I break things I break them GOOD!
Here are some pictures of the damages
As of right now it looks like the parts from the inside can be used to build a new motor. We have another block, but we are in need of a new cam. The one we have isn't going to work out for us. So if anyone knows where we can get a 490-500 Lift Cam (solid preferably) please PM me and let me know.
