Should be in my actual build thread. (here's a short clip)Where are videos of your car on track, Fabman?

@Fabman: Bummer, I had no idea your engine cut loose on you. I know that must have been so disappointing.
Glad to see you’re in the process of a Coyote engine swap.
What did you find as the cause of failure on your 3v teardown?
I’ll search for details on your new Coyote engine build.
Oil Starvation.

Yeah, it's a little confusing. The new platform has a separate build thread than the existing build threads. I think it's a nice addition, maybe there is a way to meld these together. Meanwhile feel free to post on either one.Fabman, I don't know where I should reply to your build?...Here or the build thread?..Maybe I should go back to protocol school, but that site is pretty busy for the tyme being.....Just want to say you've done a heck of a job in your mission to enjoy a fast car!....Don't stop now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Engine bearings and crank were burnt and black. Then of course there was that big hole in the block.Did you determine the cause of the ‘Oil Starvation’? Broken oil pump gears? Or blown oil cooler line or fitting?
You know what they say...anything worth doing is worth over doing.As Big Jim McBob used to say, "Blowed up real good!"
