LOOK AT THE CARNAGE

8,600 rpm in the lights with a stock 5.0 block, alum rods, and a solid roller with Victor heads: the heads were fine because eveything went out the bottom:

everyone who is anyone knows that duct tape will only hold for 1000 miles or so, you must use JB Weld if you want it to hold up!

Seriously though... Damn you did a number on that. When I blew up my first 351, my dad looked at it and said " well at least you did one thing right, you made sure you destroyed that whole thing" Mine wasn't quite as bad as this one, though I think mine saw more heat because I had rods melted off the wrist pins
