Just got the elco back from the shop. A bit of a disaster.

406 Engine was two month old.


And this happend. 






This is the hole the oil came out of. Towed the car to the shop.




You have to pull the engine to get to the pan so we inspected everything.




Pan bottomed out ripped a hole and we have a new replacement.




The engine was driven super hard over the last two months so we replaced the p bearings with H bearings a step up for race bearings.




built a hemi chin to give the pan a little extra protection.

Crazy that i saw one horned car today but two. Plus one JDM and on Domestic a Cadillac. You would there was a security concern. I remember when jaguars had to have the fly jag set further back due to safety concerns. Too cool. Bill Boss Hogg ...  

I've seen a few Texans . . .

Except for the California plate, it really is Boss Hogg’s Cadillac!
