A moment of Silence please....

My dirt track partner called last weekend and said....."ummmm, I think it's hurt"...
Final totals...23 races, 9 wins, 1 Track class championship, and leading points again this year...







Looks like it broke a piston first.
Block can probably be saved, with a sleeve or 2..    
Rotating assembly is toast..     

Please see ad in "wanted section."

Rest in Peace good friend... you served us well...........

Eeewwwwww! Thats ugly  

That'll buff out:evil:

Dan,i bet you're right they got tired of the Ford engine kicking their asses.   

Later Mark.

Duct Tape is your friend.  

Ouch  . I've never seen  lifters   break like that!

what kind of rpm was she turning or does she turn...?

We were turning it 7100 - 7200. Most of the chebbie boys had to turn 8200 to try and keep up...

If you need some lifters I have a set or two I can donate to the "Woop on the Chevy's" cause, let me know I'll bring some down with me.

Not a clue.. Might have to disassemble one of the good ones to find out...
These are Crower solid lifters with an EDM hole in the lifter face...

been that why since the 60's . most Fords at that time were one solid unit - no snap rings needed
