Sorry to see that Doug, I know first hand what you are feeling right now. Once you get into the engine let us know what you find and if anything sticks out as to what may have caused this. Glad to see you and the car are ok after something like that.

Sorry for the loss of the motor, but like the other guys said, happy you didn't oil your slicks and wreck. A guy did that last year at Muncie Indiana and took out the timing display with his Studebaker. He was hurt some, but the car was a total loss from the pics I saw. I plan on using an engine diaper when I get my Dart done, to hopefully stop the wrecking part if it grenades.
Best of luck on the new build.

Sorry to hear this Doug! Even Whitey has tears in his eyes! Glad to hear you and the '65' are OK! Coulda been REAL bad. A 572 does sound mighty tempting,doesn't it? Hope the heads are unscathed,and re-usable in the future! Best of Luck with your future build! Take care,buddy! Randy

Sorry to hear it.
I expect at least a few valves are bent when the cam got broke (by the rod?). Hopefully that is all the head damage.

Ouch Doug that's ugly............. You learn that at "Bubbas School of Engine Destruction"? Glad you and the car weren't hurt, heck of a way to convince the wife you need a new engine though.

that's a shame. it seems like the Moparts guys have seen a lot of rod failures this season. on the bright side, no injuries came out of it and it came at the end of the season. you'll have all winter to get a new combo together.
