On Monday night, i was followin' my friend as he drove another friend of ours' Mustang Corba, i was playin' catch-up after an intersection... floorin' it in 1st and 2nd, in 2nd around 7k, i heard a pop, crack and a draggin' sound and throw the car into N, the revs die down like normally would when put into N, and at around the normal idle (900-800) it just dies off, and i get out and i'm just pourin' oil like i opened the drain plug! it's just above the oil pan, wasn't sure at all what it could b, at first i thought i lost my drain plug, then got a flash light and say it, k, now what? my oil filter crack, blew, etc, nope, still there in good condition, there's oil all over my engine bay, so i wait until Tuesday evenin' when i can go w/ some friends to look at it somewhat in the air, the 1st thing we find in the light is a small piece of my block.... looks like a threw a rod through the block... bad news? mayb... then i think... B20 frankenstein?
not sure yet, i'll find out when i have it towed to a friends shop and have it actually up in the air, but i'm guessin' its the block, is so i'll do a B20 block, now do i get 11.5-12 compression for NA/AM? or do i get 10ish and decide later? or do i get 8-9ish for some forced induction?? still not sure, but i'm hopin' my insurance will pay for at least some of the "repairs"

k, later,

Jay

 

no one cares to comment or what?

anyone here w/ personal experience w/ the B20 frankenstein?

 

your insurance pays for engine work?

 

yeah, what part of your insurance covers engine damage???? Hook me up with your insurance co. if they do.

 

Insurance cover a blown engine???? Not going to happen...it's going to come out of your pocket. Got a credit card?h:

 

I have several, gold, platinum. You will probably have get some high end pistons to do high compression, that is a pretty big piston. But I would just buy aB18C1 or 5 out of a wrecked JDM car, probably be less $$:beer:
