Default Re: 1970 440 6 Pack Road Runner Coupe

Steve

After it was purchased by the current owner the rotating assembly came apart wile driving at normal speeds and destroyed the bottom end of the engine. A rod came through the oil pan as well as the back of the block. The cam was in three pieces, a hand full of lifters were broken in half and It sheered the bolts off the torque converter. Bummer.... The block was replaced with a correct date coded 440 6 pack block. The engine and the trans have been completely rebuilt. Evidently due to a miscommunication the original block was not kept.

I have to say that this owner could have easily restamped a block and know one would have known but he and I. He should be commended
