the bellhousing was sfi certified but the fly wheel was not. the only reason that the bellhousing didn't contain the flywheel when it let go was that the bolt holes in the block broke.

From the photos it looks like you used standard bolts to mount block plate and bellhousing. Im also curious if you did the same to mount flywheel. Did somebody forget to torque bolts.

just for the record, we had nothing to do with this motor. we are building the car and doing everything else but the motor was built and dynoed by someone else. the video on the site was acutally taken by the owner of the car at the dyno facility in another state.

Just watching the video is bad enough! Can't imagine being there and having it happen. Glad everyone is o.k.!
