Edgy speed shop car down

Earl Edgerton's racer had a problem. After making the fasted run ever, next run resulted in holes in the pan and water on the ground. 

 

Pulling the covers revealed at leadt a cam in  several pieces. That's what happens when pushed to the max running 5100 rpm!

 

this is a 251 with the f head conversion. Overhead intake valves. When I asked, he wasn't sure he'd rebuild. I'm guessing, even using parts off this motor, it would take $10k +, starting with a new block.
