I would not say that the engine blew up, it broke a timing chain and bent a few valves. It has had a new chain installed and the few valves that were bent replaced and it is going again.
A 427 SOHC engine is probably not the best engine to be road racing with and I think Darren went with something a little more user friendly for that. We also have better chains now than the one that broke.

Thanks, Keith Carft
