engine stripped DAMAGE FOUND
Despite the devastation to the Block the crank is fine with no damage.
One end bearing had started to spin the others were Ok. The block was held together by the crank bearing bolts.
Now have to decide on new or used 200 block, any ideas & the engine will be re-built with a couple of small mods that Mark wants to try as a development idea. Slightly different new pistons will be fitted.

As said in other thread. Millington blocks are only rated to 400bhp and they have a habit of cracking under na power so putting 900bhp + through one isnt going to be advisable.
Looks like it could have been a lot worse than a new block Rod and Im glad your continuing the development I wish you the best of luck for the future.

Maby next time a good idea to convert it dry sump.
A good starting point will be us zetec or svt engine block.
But if it has to be a ford cosworh engine you don't have to much choice maby a zetec cosworth wrc block will be ok if you can find one.
Or true frankenstein engine will be cool like a mitsubishi 4g63 or nissan sr20det or a toyota 3s-gte but that will piss of some people.

Anyone want an AUTRONICS SM2 ECU as Marks kicked that off the team as well.
