My 70 Camaro "Shop beater v 3.0" catostrophic engine failure

[6D9]

Thats why I pulled my Procharger off for fear of doing just that!! I agree on the carbed LS!!

PS...sucks to hurt such a nice motor..I would be crying as well.

So sorry Chad. It just goes to show you, engine failure can happen no matter how detaied the build process.

I may have a line on an LS drop out and will check for you. I also sent your number to a buddy whose daughter has a repair issue in Tn very close to the GA border. Being the only guy I know in those parts I figured you would either help a damsel in distress or know someone who could. I'll be in touch on the motor if it's still available...

yeah it happened with a whopping 698 miles on it!!! But oh well, I built the car to drive and enjoy. Just part of paying the price to play with the big boys!!

I'm in the process of listing a "yard sale" for all the good parts off the motor. Lots of good parts, with some killer prices!!

[pavell]

wow. how much psi were you running with that motor?

[fletcherscustoms]

12 psi

Dude, that sucks! I know the feeling though, a few years back I blew the motor in my Z06

It was funny everyone was sticking around the shop "to watch a grown man cry"!!! Very bad day to say the least. But someone is gonna get some killer pricing on the goodies that come off the motor
