Motor goes boom

[nosfed]

First I want to thank Misfit for helping me out today getting the car out there.

We put in the junk 572 yesterday/early this morning and went out to do a few passes in the car. First pass, I crossed the 1/8 heading down and heard a boom, car started to shake. Ran a 8.008 letting off and shutting down. Looks like I took out 4 or 5 pistons are gone. Never got to hit the second or third kit. Oh well, looks like the big motor is ready finally. Gonna put that in now and see whats up.

Yea, I used left over parts from 3 other 572's that were laying around to build one. We didn't expect it to live too long but decided to do it and see if we could get a few passes off while waiting for the big cube motor to come in.

what is a big cube motor if a not a 572? I mean I know there is larger custom built engines(632 Pontiacs etc.) and I am assuming this the Gm crate motor that runs around 12-17K, and you have 3 of them? And they are all grenaded? and what size is the engine you are waiting on? boy I wish I had your money. What kind of car are/was these engines in?
