I'm a GM guy but Casey is right. The Ford engines stay together even with blowers on them... LOL

The Mod Motor seems to do OK, not a SS car but 6.19 at 235 is stout.



And that's not even the big 5.4 the CJ has, it's the smaller 4.6 with a factory block, crank and heads.

Tom, John & George Klass have been tweaking that 4.6 Mod Combo for several years now. You wouldn't know it based off the ET's they lay down, but they use the Ford OEM Factory Cobra block which has been reinforced, stock lifters and valvetrain pieces, and factory ported heads

I think the only work, Geo does is answer the phone. Any building or tweaking is done by,John.

Chad, didn't Skillman stand it way up? Might have hit the pan or starved it of oil?

He stood it up twice, and dropped it, twice in consecutive qualifying rounds. He spun the tires hard in his third qualifying shot. Then in the first round, his opponent went red and he spun the tires even harder, then drove it through, it blew up about 900' and shut the track down for about an hour or so in the middle of round one.

The oil pump pick up broke off. When that happened it burned it up and left a quater sized hole in the pan. There was oil completely covering under the car, and all over the rear end of the car.

Glad to see they took the time the change motors and go race this weekend.

What broke it? And when? Because it was sitting on the starting line, he spun the tires real hard, and stayed on it until it let go. There was never even any sort of remotely violent move.
