In the 1/8th lol!
Looks like an engine design error to me. What was over twisting, 10K?
As I remember = Even Stick 400s had a cast crank.
From what they told me he hit neutral and no revlimiter in the MSD box at the time. Over shifted and in 2 seconds whammo.. Was not there don't know the truth.
No that's my white trash neighbors kid. I'm the camera guy watching fools be fools.
Probably not. A stock 1960 VW had a 4.33 final drive, and didn't get very much smoke.
By 1965 they had 4.375:1, presumably because they were competing, and losing against pedestrians.
Damn, I was hoping for a video of when he blew it up. Not a bunch of chuckling drunkards.
This was the second time they built that engine. The first time it was blown up they dropped it off at an alignment shop to get the front end setup. They came to pick it up the next day and it was blown up. I hear so many stories about how that thing blew up the first time. The second time it was Steves fault all the way. The first time they blamed the alignment shop for doing burnouts with it in the parking lot. They said they had "video evidence" I believe they are full of ****.
You gotta pay motortrend for that one.
Well, this guys got a 400and doing a burnout. Gives me some hope!
that's what I used to build my 451 that's in my car. What's special about the 72 year? I had the cylinder walls measured and they were good, but a bit all over the place and no such luck for me on it having the massively thick cylinder walls mentioned for some of the 400 blocks, which I later found out is pretty rare.
