Race or Street Why no scattersheid ? Sorry for ur loss but legs are important.
The reason I didn't have a lakewood on here was because it's maybe a 450 hp car. I know alot more people with higher hp SB still running stock bells.
I wonder if it was a cast iron case if it would have made a difference???

I'd have to assume that something locked up in the trans ro spin it on the bellhousing and break the ears like that. I'll be interested to see what the inside looks like. Bummer! 
It looks like the trans got jammed up by going into both 2 and 3 gears (there is a lockout on the housing that is "suposeto" prevent this). With the extra power it just did not break loose, A broken fork (between the 1-2) may have cause it not to get out of gear.
Once the trans locked up hard, the weight of the car and the momentum, just twisted the entire engine / tras until something had to give; unfortunately the parts were so equal, a lot gave...
Look at the direction of the twist on the drive shaft, I bet it is not clockwise (going forward) it is ccw (because the wheels were driving against a stopped load)
Be careful taking the tras apart and do some good careful looking to get to the root cause, but that is crazy...

The back of the crank has no damage. The clutch isn't broke either.Flywheel bolts are all in tact. Some one asked about the floor, there is only a small dent right where the sheetmetal on the floor goes up over the rear. Here's a pic you can kinda see....

was that 18 spline internals?
wondering just what failed, keep us up to date.
No just 23 spline, it was only a mild build 
I'll probably take the trans apart next week, see whats in there 
The rear looks good too except for it snapped 3 of the 4 heads right off the bolts that hold the u joint straps on....

I see todays racers are making the same mistake as those 40+ years ago did - no scatter shield. I was only stupid ( and darn lucky )once. Considerable more violent explosion than what you went through and still had all my digets ( but not much else )at the end of the track. BTW, had similar block damage and was able to have it repaired.

I am going to say no...I had a similar incident in my valiant when I broke a shift fork and went for 3rd gear and then all hell broke loose. My bell broke right where yours did near the opening for the clutch fork. It snapped the ears off of the trans case (cast iron) just like yours did. Talk about  !
Did that trans have steel shift forks?
ps...so what does the shifter handle look like?

Lets see now - A stickshift car with a factory stock driveshaft, factory stock bellhousing, assume you had a driveshaft loop ( in the right spot)at least, 200HP shot to a 400 ( at minimum ) HP 340? Sorry for your breakage, but you had it commin. Consider yourself lucky and take a wise-up pill!

I have seen this exact thing before but the iron case and tail held up a little better.It also knocked the advance plate loose inside the distributor.Something else you might want to check along with the hub on the disc.If you need a small bearing case send me a PM  The shipping will be higher than the price of the case Gus
