Splitting an engine in half in 6 seconds. Small block Ford fail, major explosion 

Haha I love this! Mad Max is a favorite of mine

Be wary of developing an addiction to oil pressure.....for you will resent it in it's absence!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣, a warriors death!

/witnessed

But Nux drove a Chevy!

Kelly Sweetman mainly 302 blocks that do that

Yep. The late 5.0 blocks had this issue. You could get one that would hold 550h.p. all day long for years, or you could get one that would split in a week at the same power level. They were a roll of the dice.. 🤷🏻

@@davelowets There aren't 1% of 1% of 1% of "late" 302 blocks "holding" 350 hp much less 550 hp for any clock-measurable part of a day, lol. Ford Mustangs didn't "consume" a "statistically-significant" portion of "late" 302 production and there is no such thing as a "dice roll" on casting quality and "strength" if "half" fail and "half" don't PERIOD much less at some bullshit made up "power level" a "race engine" won't spend multiple SECONDS at. If "half" fail they're ALL junk and the only thing left to "chance" is the bullshit "power numbers" the assclowns building 302s for "drag cars" on "boost" and/or "noss" are claiming their "race engines" were/are "putting out" prior to "splitting in half".

best comment ever! lmao

Same thing happen to me, but the other 4 cylinders got the block, crank, rods, pistons, full top end with the blower, and every other part. 😜🙋‍♂️ I got the camshaft though, its in my profile pic. 🤪

Rosco Run enough nitro and you could send the 6-71 into orbit....

Haha nice!

My mother has a 4cyl in her Honda Civic. Are you saying that the engine in her car likely went through a nasty divorce before my mom met it? Oh no, I hope it didn't carry any baggage from its married days, like bent valves......

Boost is just a number and 12psi from a large roots blower is a whole different animal then say 12lbs from a centri. On top of the pressure it forces on the rotating assembly from boost, it takes a tremendous amount to just turn the blower. If he was making in the 700s, it was taking every bit of 900 @ the flywheel.

Common 302 thing

More like common ford thing

@@tjgaming5091 common sbf thing. New ford blocks are compacted graphite iron in durability applications and aluminum in performance apps and are worlds ahead of some of their competition.

I just don't understand why anyone would put all that time & money into the blower & everything else but use not only a stock block & internals, but a junk yard engine ! Like come on already! A Dart block & rotating assembly doesn't cost that much in the 1st place, especially considering everything else, & especially when your engine explodes & destroys everything else. This does happen to both SBC & SBF, definitely more likely with SBF tho. Those blocks can & do handle 700hp plus at times & in special circumstances. But in reality their limits are technically rated at 500hp, while many can handle 600hp . Even though this is a misnomer, because even tho many rate engines like this, rating in horsepower is incorrect, & really more so rating the upper limit of the RPM range, which if correctly balanced, & built correctly can easily hit 7k plus RPM. Like rear ends, transmissions, etc etc etc, engine blocks are truly rated in torque ft lbs! I don't care what you heard & by whom you heard it from. Because I've seen videos, teachings from so called professionals, from big brands, top notch places give terrible information. Whether from Summit Racing or Jegs, from Edelbrock to Com Cams, & on & on, & I can't believe how they were even allowed too or these companies let these final cuts of incorrect information go out to the public. I guess they figure most watching don't have a clue, & don't count on people like myself who do know, & even tho I already know alot, I'm not so arrogant to realize I can always learn new things or tricks , or just plain out would rather see &/or listen to stuff I'm interested in, rather than some reality TV keeping up with the Whore-dashians crap! Not to mention not taking countless selfies while making duck lips posing by someone else's Lamborghini perpetrating like it's mine to get fake likes from fake friends! Oh & this last part is directed at both male & females.

I'm making a plan to do something with it, maybe a bench in front of my office or a table

Same. I’d make a wine rack trophy 🏆 from it. Led lights and all!!!!

Sucks. It get pretty friggin expensive when that shit happens. 💸 💸 💸 I had a big block Olds that the main bearing saddles ripped off of the block. I think I ended up with only a pair of valve covers, and a carburetor left after that fiasco. Half of the broken cam went out the back of the block and trashed my converter also. Both heads got smacked by pistons and were shot, something came up and broke the bottom of the intake, the crank was bent beyond repair, the bottom of the shaft of my billet distributor was wacked off, the ATI balancer was junk, most of the roller rocker arms were beat, the oil pan was shredded, oil pump was broken, there was just nothing left. It came apart at 7000 RPMs. After that shit show, I went to an aftermarket block and never looked back. No issues since.

Thank you so much for the support!

Did you check the oil?

Has lots to do with detonation for sure. Ben Alameda has some videos on here explaining different theories!

Affirmative. I have my boost setup to climb gradually and regularly pump 785 Horsepower at the wheels out of it rarely turning faster than 4,200 RPMs, probably a lot more if I were to give it the goose. Keep the climb steady, don’t dump a ton of boost at once, don’t spike the power and torque curves suddenly, don’t float your valves and a blown Windsor 302 with alcohol or NoS (I used to use both but now I’ve swapped NoS for Propane) can push far past the fabled 500 Horse limit.

They always seem to find the week point of anything under or behind them

@@NitroUnion RUD Rapid Unplanned Disassembly

⁉️Are we absolutely sure we are talking about Ford engines suffering catastrophic damage here, and not CHEVY engines? That would certainly make more sense...... 🥴

Amused. I’ve seen a 351 split cleaner than that at 400 Horses and a 350 Chevy block blow up and almost kill my buddy at close to 600 Horses. I’m running 12.5 PSI boost through my 302 and get 785 Horsepower from it and that thing has ran fine blown and propane-injected for about 4 years now.

Production or dart block?

Thank you and welcome aboard!

Thank you! That's our goal, we enjoy doing it!

So what's a guy to do to prevent that from happening. You think a Dart Block might work. It's to bad that had to happen.

I know arnie personally Great guy to talk to

Thank you! I've got it back in the shop now, going to make something out of it to display for sure

I know right!?

Thanks 👍

C'mon man, that's a complete fictional story. 🙄 That has NEVER happened to a small block chebby in their entire history since they started building them in 1955.

It's definitely a crazy thing to happen haha. We're pretty good at breaking stuff it seems like! Oh yeah, the car is still here, after we broke this engine, we went to a big block Chevy that we has sitting in another car, mainly because it was free, but we do plan on going to a big block Ford when funds allow it

@@NitroUnion Good deal. I look forward to seeing you guys and the car. Good luck.

Thank you for tuning in! I appreciate your support!

Detonation kills engines. With todays tuning capabilities we can push engines a lot further. Years ago people couldn't push a stock block 302w much passed 500hp. Today 700hp is doable.

Thank you! Yeahh dad is pretty good at breaking stuff so somewhere between us pushing it and his luck it stood no chance haha.

Most of the late 302s I've seen crack started up in the valley.

The factory 351W block in one of my old boats was no different than a car block. Rods were the typical ones you'd find in any old automotive application also. I.I.R.C., the boat was a mid 70s model. I can't positively tell you that ALL of the boat motors were this way, but mine wasn't anything special and it was the original motor to the boat.

Thank you Mike! Where are you based out of? We tag along with the Funny Car Chaos series with the gassers from time to time in TX. Gassers are really coming back strong, there are a lot of cars out there running now!

Welcome aboard! This happened in December of 2016. We have had the car back together and running since then, we went to a different engine setup afterward. I'm actually uploading a video that is part 1 of a two part series today that tells the full history of this car

Haha we'll definitely do one on that too! I am going to start doing project introductions, so I am going to do a video on the full history of Miss Fitt start to finish to fill everyone in that doesn't know

Welcome! From what I've seen on the Barra's, they seem to be very tough engines, I've read where guys are making upward of 1500hp on the stock blocks and heads which is very impressive. I've been following the "9 Second Cresta" built started by Mighty Car Mods now owned by Benny, he's approaching the 7's now with that car.
