That motor is sweet! Mike, did you really just make that big long post all by yourself? I like this part of it "they make all kinds of different girldles but they just delay the inevitable." LOL. Aren't those words sort of big for you? I'm j/k man!

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!

I use a stock block 306, it makes 640 rwhp, and no cracks, it's all in the tune up. Aem all the way.

Not up to par on my Ford motor specs, what is a 306? 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.

Nate, a 306 is a .030 over 302(5.0).

I don't think bad tuning tore the engine apart. 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.

So how exactly did that happen....any details?

WES U R RIGHT I DIDNT SEE ANY OF THOSE PLATS NOW THAT U MENTIONED IT look at the pics u dont see it

[weshole]

You probably wont see them in the posted pics because the engine had been removed. There's no telling if they had them installed or not since there's no pics of engine in the car.

Yeah There Was From The Back When The Trannie Was Removed
