[dropt95s10]

hey all, this is my uncle's truck. it is a 53 ford f100 with a chevy 400 bored out to a 406. my dad in his 68 camaro and my uncle and I in the ford were out cruising last sunday and then we heard an awful noise... on to the pics.







engine out...


motor that is going in now. it is also a 400. the heads off of the broken one will go on this block and the supercharger will stay on...should run really good.


Damage.....notice the oblongishness...(is that a word? haha)


the bearing...you know what it SHOULD look like. haha


the bearing again




yeah



thats that.....i have some more pictures and stuff. he is in the process of putting that other motor in as we speak. this was the number 3 piston.

god that was a bad sound...
