I’ll bite…….
Here is my 68 442 from last year…did not get out but a couple of times this year. Changes for 2014 will be a torque convertor (thanks for the loan Doug Smith!) and some additional distributor massaging. Gotta watch my redline as my numbers matching block could get hurt! 😮

Currently running E/PS (pure stock) and having fun. Joe Huestis and Doug Smith have been encouraging me. (much to my wifes dismay…lol)

Regards,

Fred

Same track, Moroso, was rebuilt several years ago by the new owners. 😎

Hope it never happens again”

Sorry about your mishap, Kevin. I hope you are feeling better soon, and I hope you can repair the car. Glad all the safety equipment worked for you, maybe a Hans Device or something similar should be on your “to get” list. Good luck. ……….Mikey

Kevin Just Posted this:
So Joseph Jr DiNardo and I tore most of the engine down and so far almost everything was damaged in one way or another. Looks like a rod bolt snapped, taking out the timing chain(partially saved the heads)then it blew through the pan, 5 or 6 valves touched the pistons(getting them faced). I Scratched 1 Crower solid roller lifter, $hattered 1 push rod, broke the timing chain and retainer, $hattered the timing Set, chipped, gouged and $cratched the $olid roller cam, the block is ruined as well as the crank and piston$$$$$. Does anyone want to donate????
