Was taking off in first got it up to about 5k and right before I shifted it went bang. It was pretty violent. Motor shut off on it's own and I coasted to a stop.
I plan to start tearing the front end apart today after work. I am posting pics to see what you all think? I am suspecting the damper came off the crank and took out the front cover.
Any input would help and I will keep you updated.

I am going to say it did. Broke main cap I think as a result of a broken crank.

Stated above, took off making a blind left, as I took off saw a car coming fast. Hit it up to about 5k and as I was about to shift it went bye bye. Update, entire front of the block is cracked. I will post pics soon.

Trust me, I am in absolute shock about the entire thing. Stock bottom end with the girdle had roughly 120k on it. All I have is bolt ons, HCI.

That sucks. That motor had problems for a while to break like that making as little power as it did.

Goes to show a girdle doesn't do anything except hold the block together when the engine grenades.
