Disaster at the drag strip... possible bent pushrods.....

Last run today shifting from 3rd the 4th i believe i hit second. the low trac. light came on and the car jerked and sounded like it broke in half. rolling through 3/4 track the car died and would not start right away when i stopped and tried to start it. I got it strarted and drove it home. I barly idles and when you reach the friction point the shifter and tranny shake like S$#&. any help would be appreciated. mario

Sounds like bent push rods, so if that's all it is consider yourself lucky. Check it out immediately.

if push rods bent you better do a cyl leak down test. more than likely valves will be bent too

when the car is running it barly idles and there is a fast ticking noise. I just hope it is nothing more than pushrods and valves. the fu#*&# up thing is i have to drive it to a friends house to have him look at it. how expensive will it be for parts pushrods and valves ect. thanks mario
