What would cause this major catastrophe
A tuner i had build a 368 motor a while back managed to really screw this up.
Total miles on motor 8! I'm sure Frank can guess who the builder was, can't you Frank?

Major oil starvation. Not very pretty. Suspect a passage blocked, or the oil pump was not doing it's job. |

Siamesed and dropped intake plenum powder coated Red $1500.00 Ported injector housings $800.00 the pair powder coated red Watson headers $950.00 thermal coated 1 7/8" primary JE Pistons and rods $1000.00 (If these are in any way faulty when inspected, i will refund 100% of the cost) Heads, larger valves - massive porting work $3500.00 the pair Tilton twin disk clutch flywheel assembly $750.00 Block, with studded mains & all clearance work for a 415 already performed (If in any way faulty when inspected, i will refund 100% of the cost) $2000.00 Throttle body 63mm with modified airhorn $850.00 powder coated red Going up here first, then off to ebay it goes.
