> 454SS - 1 motor, rebuilt twice since new. !st rebuild was due to broken crank & #2 piston @ 26K milles. 2nd rebuild (current) was because oil consumption was caused by poor drainback holes in the pistons (it used 1 qt every 50 miles).

> 76 Grand Prix - blew 1 motor, 1 trans  
> 78 Grand Prix - blew 2 motors (v6 & a 305), three trans (three speed, five speed twice) , 1 rearend (10 bolt lasted 2 days after new 400ci motor)  
> 83 Trans Am - 1 trans, 1 rearend  
> 84 Buick Regal - 1 motor/trans combo

Add a few small items to my list (this past summer)…

- Rear Diff posi unit
- 4th gear in the T56
- smoked the clutch on the last pass in October, but it is still driveable.
- I’m almost certain I will be breaking the T56 again sometime in the near future (traction, weight & power are conspiring against it)
