austinsailor Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
