Default My motor blew!!!

Last night I dropped a valve and shredded everything incuding my head, it sucks *** to lose a motor over something so stupid. Only a true gearhead can smile when his $5k motor blows up randomly because he knows its just an opportunity to build it bigger and badder. That ol POS 350 was slow anyways, Im building a 540 now and hello 800-900hp
BTW anyone have a BBC for sale??

I know someone who has a pump gas 509 they may sell... Merlin Block, Dart 320 heads, fogger etc... Motor is fresh with zero runs, we put the motor in my outlaw car to break it in and ever since then it has been on the stand. Jim Hanning is the one that built it.

I will find out what he wants for it.

If I were to sell this motor it would be $12k obo. I have reciepts for everything from when it was freshedned up. I have the flow numbers on the dart pro 1 heads as well. The pro 1 heads were CNC ported and hand ported. Je pistons, Manley rods, eagle crank. This is a 10:1 pump gas motor with a solid roller cam. It will also come with the Dart stud girdles. If your interested you get exactly what you see including the Cold fusion fogger kit that has never been used.

There is a reason the engine is on the stand dumbass The car is in the middle of a restoration. The only reason I am even thinking about selling the motor is to do a LSX turbo setup for the car. I know its hard fro you to believe but yea some people have stuff thats not junk like you.

Before restoration

Hah, dont we all. My next motor the 89 has should be 700 RWHP on spray i imagine, then it will get better from there.

This is what im working on right now...











This is my 95 Z, it will be my daily driver so the 89 can get more serious
