Ha, ha. I got a story for this topic.

It was about 1992. I was racing a lot at a drag strip down south. It was a warm day. This young man in a Hemi Cuda was doing a lot racing back to back. It was an original from what was understood. It was his dads. He turn some good times. But, like we all hear. All good things must come to an end. He was staging off his burnout. Pulled up to line. Lights walked down and he gassed it rolled about a foot an front of car settled and come to a stop. Bottom end came unglued. Parts were laying all over starting line. Announcer went silent for about 30 seconds. Pushed it out of way cleaned up mess. Started racing again. I would hate to have been him when he got home.

Fortunately the only engine that has ever come apart with me was around 1992 also. It was a Stage V iron headed 440 with aluminum rods. It had a little over 600 passes on it and one of the aluminum rods broke. It took out everything except one head and the carburetor. After that incident I sold the car as a rolling chassis.

I literally took this picture 5 minutes ago in front of northern tool. I guess I could accept this mopar if someone gave it to me.
