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 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.
