Definitely not trying to hijack the thread, but I lost my FE last Saturday at Hallet Racing Circuit out west of Tulsa. I haven't started tearing it down yet because my son was in the hospital Mon-Wed, but he's better now and home. Hopefully I'll start tearing into it this weekend.
428 bore 4.13 X 4.25 Scat rotating assembly. I don't know the extent of the damage yet, but the #3 main bearing cap (broken) and a few block pieces were left on the track. Up until then it sounded fine, no tell-tale noises, knocks, misses or power loss before letting go. Good
oil psig (65) and running about 4,800-5,000, then BAM, then silence. Then spinning/sliding backwards at 80 mph because I
oil down my tires and the track.
Once I get into it, I'll post some comments and pics.
In the mean time, I'm planning another FE stroker build.
