Killed it

Lost some oil pressure at the West Coast hot Rod Race. We were running ultra street AKA limited 235.. This is an image of the last pass it made

Dang, dude,Sorry to hear that
How bad is it hurt?

Out of the gas at 400' with a badd vibration ..

Just about done with the new power plant.. Hopefully it will be quicker even though it is Smaller...

Sorry to hear you had some bad luck buddy. I love following your track success stories. How’s the block look.

ow . damn

Tex

sorry to hear that man

^^^What he said^^^pretty impressive small block .

Ouch !

Between here, other Mopar forums, FB etc.... I’m not certain that I saw an early Ritter block live or in some cases even run at the level Shiloh’s did..... and we’ll use the term “live” loosely. They went great lengths to “make it” work. I’m thinking it will live out it’s days as a coffee table, mail box holder, or a lawn decoration of some sorts.

I had the same reaction to the damage pic...

OUCH !

Bummer. High rpm does have its related costs when poop hits the fan.

What kind of crank is that?

3/4 race crank

Nasty failure there. Holey smoke.

unbalanced 3/4 crank.

That was a nice crank.

Sorry you broke your crank... hope the block is still in usable (or repairable) condition!
Could have been worse though...

Can't even use that one for a coffee table...........

Sorry Shiloh, was it a ccw crank or non? Just curious. My Bryant in my f2 w8 deal is non ccw and seems to be a wet noodle in there somewhat.

Oh, wow. Sorry to see this. I understand. I had one come apart on the dyno and destroy nearly everything, but not as bad as yours. I had a bit over $10,000 in it. I'm sure you had much more invested. Sorry .

That engine wasn't mine (fortunately!), I just found the picture online and used it for comparison purposes
But if OP busted a crank, it's quite possible that the rods also beat up on the block too...

Holy cow, what the heck happened here .
Ive never seen a block that damaged

Awesome shot!

. Other than all the main Are extremely use the block seems OK

. No it was not center counterweighted.. Once I went to a dry sump the bearings always looked good...

. Bob it Was a King crank . And Forged in America... Actually discontinued now.. but we cycled it hard for close to 4 years.. I guess now I know how long one will last..

. No one can ever say we gave up that's for sure...

Sorry to. See the carnage, but good to see the new build underway. Serious stuff you have there!

I'm going to assume you and the car didn't get hurt, which is the only positive thing I can take form that motors death
Do any of the new motor parts come from up north?
How soon will it be in the car?

. Yes cab we are going to use the block and thanks again for the lead.. Yup everyone was safe and nothing exited the motor

Dang Shiloh, that's a tough pill to swallow. Been there done that myself. But at my age it has taken me 8 yrs to put things back together. Am sure you are getting lots of advice. So thought I would put a penny's worth in. Can't afford 2 cents. Just looking at your pics I see a couple things I would address. With the rpm you're turning I would look at rotating assembly weight. Maybe BM aluminum rods. I see a serious problem with the pistons. Heavy scuffing up by the ring grooves= bad skirt profile. Just trying to suggest changes I would look into. Not trying to be a know it all, ain't the brightest light in the room. But I've learned from my mistakes. Oh if you don't mind one more thing I would look into would be a center weighted crank. That's my pennies worth. Best of luck to you in your future build.

. I value everyone input that's what has helped me get to where we are... It seems to be a continuous progression of It seems to be a continuous progression of ET and knowledge all the time and knowledge all the time

It good to see them going to use instead of gathering dust

R.I.P. You done a good job with that hunk of steel !!!!! Raised a lot of eyebrows..

Hat Tipped ....

Sorry to hear the engine give out, that is one mean Small block, and lasted long .

Hate to see this, but good you've almost got a replacement ready!

No one can say we didn't race it... We ran it through its paces often.... Hopefully the replacement performs as well as this one did

On the bright side it looks like the car left straight!
Sorry about the motor :-(
