Yep, seen it through the years. It used to be the guys going from 6 cyl cars or stock small blocks to big blocks and four speeds. Sometimes the cars made it as much as a week. People not used to the power and not careful enough. Just recently here in town, guy took a '69 with an LS2 and swapped it out for an LSA.
Luckily for him he only spent one night in the hospital and no one else was in the car at the time.
Pictured below, the car before the swap, the crate engine, after the transplant, and then what it looked like after he drove it for a short period of time.
