yep. the day has come, it ran good and gave me some fun times for the last two years and has had its fair share and more of abuse. i was coming back from wal-mart getting on toi my college campus and hit it in 2nd started spinning got it up to about 4000 hit 3rd till about 3500 and let out and heard noise, killed it. fired it up, sounds like a rod slappin my windage tray and block. :( i have another motor sitting in my garage 302 with an intake and a cam that i am going to throw in while i build the 351 back up if its salvagable. but should be done in the next week. ill update later with a damage report and pictures. :twisted:

Hmmmm...... Sounds like it was ready to go from a previous incident....

Think hard; I'm sure the missed shift or massive over rev will come back to mind....;)

plenty of missed shifts im not perfect but the limiter has always been at 6000 since i first started it up. im thinking a little detonation on the squeeze a couple times sealed its fate.
