Wellā€¦ I would have to put mine together before I would have the opportunity to start it on fireā€¦ so, it wasnt me. I am guessing this was Chrisā€™s car that lost its bottom-end sometime last week? No one knows for sure what happened yetā€¦ current guesses include a crank that sheared in half, as well as a piston that lost its pin bossesā€¦ nobody knows yet, and he doesnt know what he is doing with the car yet. ---

> [@gsx](#): > > chris who? what year viper? assuming not stock if the motor blewā€¦ Dont want to post up his last nameā€¦he might not like that. It was a 1997 Red GTS, with White Stripes (Stripes were added last year) The car had 6X,XXX miles on it, however the engine had been replaced (supposedly) 14K miles ago. The engine had a funny noise for a long time, but nothing ever came of it and nobody went looking for it extensively. The car is pretty much stock, which makes NO sense considering what happened to itā€¦ leading me to ask the question; Who is full of shit about the ā€œreplacedā€ engine, or who did the most botched rebuild of all time. Considering the story that went along with the now ā€œwindowedā€ block, there is just no explanation that makes sense when you add it to the fact that it is a 14K mile old shortblock, short of an extreme defect in the factory forging. Even if it spun a bearing, it would not have done that amount of damage, that fast, in those conditionsā€¦which is why I lean towards a severed crank, or a piston that lost its bosses. ---
