There's no telling if they had them installed or not since there's no pics of engine in the car.

I do believe that how the engine was anchored most likely contributed to the self destruction. I (believe) it would never have happened if there was a front or rear motor plate used.

2wheeler under tintmasters account.

As you say, tuning has a lot to do with engine failure. I had AEM on my talon, and I loved it. You can blow your engine up with a push of a button, or make it run beautifully with a push of a button:) I don't think I would run a stock ECU again on a car after having all the control in my hands with the AEM.

LOL. I think he might have copied and pasted part of that... That would be like Nova writing a properly spelt word. Heh, sorry Nova, had to say it.

That sucks that those little mustang heads get soo mad at each other that they have to try and split the block apart. Just think, a mustang at 500hp is only 1.66hp/CI while my car was about 4.51hp/CI 😄 I know, I know..we have already talked about this. It is fun to think about though.

Anyways, cool pics!
Nate

We'll take pics of yours when it happens, too!

Any car with over 500hp is gonna tend to break something. just do a web search and type in broken 302 block and see what ya find

But only on the 3.8 v6's nothing else. I didn't thing the V8's had to worry about that. Did it say how he did it?
