Chevelle upgrades.

Almost forgot we painted the car last year. Was ready for a change, amazing how time flys. It was silver for a decade.

Couple more additions we made to the car last year. Just got tired of breaking oil pans

And redid our forward facing T-stat housing.

Looks like a Corvette batwing pan. Pretty cool.

We’ll raceweek and a race at xrp the same week did us in. Broke a piston and hurt a rod. Motor/piston had about 500 passes and about 8k miles. We did run it on the big jets the last 3 passes and then it popped.

Strange break. Swing by Mark and see what kind of cyl pressure it's running! Hard to tell but seems like the crown is still intact? How many rpms are you turning it?

Crack stopped at top ring groove looks like. Was the wrist pin still in good shape?

Wow, Good thing it didn't come completely apart...

It has some debris on it, that’s it.

same parts for the new build or making any changes?

I literally tossed in one new piston and one rod. It’s back together and ready to go back in the car I’m just making a couple other tweaks put the trans in the converter before it goes all back together.

Everything else looked really good so I said screw it we’re gonna run it like this for a while longer if we can and maybe make some adjustments in the nitrous and overall power try to make it live longer will see.
