I believe it was about 5800-6200rpm range. Our driver was doing some hole shots the day we where supposed to trailor it from Pittsburgh to Maryland. He got to the top of first gear, and there was a bang. The engine shut off and put a bunch of oil down. The best we can come up with is that it had come out of car that had rolled over. Possibly it was still running for a bit upsidedown, and hydrauliced a cylinder causing stress cracks in either the piston or a con rod.
Our race will be on around the end of this season. Some time in october they tell us.

Well, we had to hurry to get a new engine, and there was on ok 6.0 layin around, sooooo.........
Don't forget, that pan holds 8.5 courts bitches!!!!!!!!!!!
and, total cost hmmm. Never really tried to figure it out. Retail value of my work into it would probably be around the 10k range.

Well I would say the reason why you blew the rear rods was because lack of oil. Look at how shallow the pan is in the rear. Yes it may hold 8.5 qts but the drop off is so steep in the front the oil thats getting back there is drain back oil off the heads. The 6.0 block will do the same. You need more transition in that pan to the back. Nice looking car regardless.

I had that fear. You can't see it in any of those pictures but there is an AN bung welded in the rear floor, and the one on the side of the kickout. That will transfer oil pools during acceleration. The one on the side doubles as the drain plug. I inpected the LS1 as much as time would allow. All the cam bearing where unharmed. This would lead me to believe that there an issue other than oil starvation. Plus like Pewterz said. The 6.0 made a handfull of passes with no problems. The one thing I wish I had done after a pass is drain a quart and see if it was still pooling enough to make alot of windage. The only way to starve it would be to have all 8.5 quarts in the motor and filled half way up the block in the back of the pan. That would take allot of sustained G's to keep it that high in the back before flowing back to the front. Plus it has a transfer tube. So I can pretty much say with confidence, It has absolutely no oil feeding issues.

What else do you think it might be. I would really like to know. It would be interesting to see what the rest of the connecting rod bearings look like. That would absolutely rule out oil starvation.
