OWWW!
-
ouch that will hurt in the morning, hey by the way dont scratch my boat ;D
-
I imagine it was running a bit rough?
-
Not good Skip. Not good. Off to the parts store we go.
-
that's gunna hurt the wallet :-[
-
Thats a piece of art!
-
Hopefully it happened at the end of the weekend.
How did the block and head look? Are they savable?
Bummer !!!! >:(
-
Ralph, you're right about the wallet part! Supposedly this engine had less than 1 hour on a fresh rebuild, yeah right, look at the pan contents

Looks like the piston skirt might have been the cause of it, or maybe it's just another victim

because one hole just wasn't enough, here's the other side of the pan

and to top it all off, the errant rod is off the crank, and the engine is still siezed solid!
Oh well, now I have something to do this winter ::)
-
sounds like a good time to build a stroker motor
-
agreed Ralph! Maybe some H beamers.... ;D
Wow that's a painful sight...
-
Ralph, you being a Ford man, what would you recommend for a rebuild? I'm not looking for a top fuel engine, I'm actually more interested in reliability first, a little performance 2nd
-
it all depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. a good stroker assy is about 15-1900$ then the machine work. dont get me wrong its not cheep but neither is another motor.
-
That suks.
Break
Out
Another
Thousand
I've got 2 BBC pans that look like that, I'm out of gas so I haven't tried to fix them yet.
-
I'll try to dig up a recipe I had for a 500HP 460, if you've already got the block and crank I think the parts list came out to $2000
-
assuming that my block, crank, pistons etc are good can I get another set of rods, have the whole enchilada balanced
& use this all for a rebuild, or am I asking for trouble?
Thanks again guys for all your help, advice, comments, this place reminds me of hotrodding before it got mainstream
-
New pistons and rods are definitely a need. Before you make a decision on what need or need not be replaced you need to find out what caused the problem.
-
musta been why it wouldn't run the other day on the phone eh?!
put a stocker in it till you get the boat motor built...
-
cheep is'nt good and good is'nt cheeeeeeeep
that being said i would build one motor one time
-

daaaaaaaamn, i take it you know skip
-
I'm going with Ralph on this one, I'm not a huge fan of pulling engines much less putting them back in! Don't let akakiller bother you guys, he's one of my best friends, he's the one that told me about this place, make him show y'all a picture of his boat, I'm a little jealous of it. That being said, I found a local reutable shop with a really nice guy for an owner, I've seen his personal boat so I know he can build stuff that runs like a raped ape, AND holds together for more than one or two seasons.

See you guys in Castaic on Sunday?
-
Skip before you pull the trigger on your engine (builder) do some research www.460ford.com

Here's a pic of Killer's boat on his favorite lake.

hell yeah, thats the one... Mama comes out and we make rhumba! noises... then I spray her with the garden hose for awhile... then we go back inside!

hahahahahahaha!

I like that afro dude.
Yes I've known Uncle Skippy for a very long time and I just can't help but poke fun at him... he did the same when I was lying in the parking lot in Bakersfield swapping center sections in my 56 Chevy...
Uncle Skippy is the only man I know who can scare up a center section for a 56 Chevy... in under an hour... for $50!!!
Please don't make too much fun of my boat... even though it has a transmission in it, its still fun!
-
good lookin floater O0
