Cracked the block.broke the timing chain, blew apart the cover.
Took the head off, notched some gashes in the pistons. broke the crank.
burnt some valves and bent some rods. took out the cam after these pics.
not sure if its bent. didnt see any damage on it though.

wow.. and how did you do just that :dunno:

tell me you were given it some Nitrous love :)

It must have been the NOS timing.

It let go at top of 1st gear 5500+ without warning, Pretty sure I spun a bearing.

it woulda been cool if you actually blew the heads right off :)

I am very surprised. I got 310,xxxkms on my 89 5.0, and I can drive the crap out of it all day long. At 285,xxx I even put on the dyno, and she held together.

I had 174,xxx miles.

I'm guessing this isnt an american site :usa:

I think theres a mix of Canucks and Us folk... Dont be bitter at Team Canada :nana:

You must really be hard on the stang to do that.. and i mean, really hard, they take some abuse... LOL

oh no not bitter, I just couldnt figure out why he had over 300,xxx on his ride
:)



It was abused since 3 years ago.
Parts broke*

* The rearend, Bought another used one for 50 dollars
* 3 T-5's countless $$$$$

Nothing small ever broke, Very weird to say the least. :drive:

Wow, you really blew that sucker up. Looks like you broke that crank at the number 2 main. I've had 3 N/A 302s blow up in such a manner. One was doing 150km/h (90mph) when the crank snapped and locked the wheels up!!! Thankfully he managed to figure it out before he hit anything.

they wheels wont lock it in a 5 speed and bump it in nuetral,
iinfact while it was in gear the tires didnt lock up.

Huh???
I guess it's luck of the draw, the way his crank broke it wouldnt allow the trans to turn so it locked up the rear wheels.
