That broke all the bolts off? A wrist pim got between 2 of the rods and locked up the motor up
Anyone ever seen a flex plate...

Snap- definately take the tranny apart and have it inspected. Lots of impact there and it went elsewhere too.

Meh... I think you may be able to salvage that piston!
On a serious note, that sucks. Block salvageable?

Flywheel or flex plate? I could see it happening with a flywheel (lots of rotating mass!) What RPMs did happen at? Still impressive!

Flex plate, motor was turning about 4500 rpms when the rod failed and the wrist pin got wedged.

I was looking at your torque converter today at Chris's. I think some of your problem may be the spacers your running on the converter. The center of the converter was not engauged in the end of the crank at all. At least it shows no signs of it. That would of thrown things off balance a good bit. Very well could have caused a bearing to spin. Just something to consider. Hate to see you go through that again.

Interesting! That's a good point about the torque converter mating with the crank. You could just machine a crank spacer to fit it and keep the same setup. As long as it's centered with the crank, it should work right?
