blew a piston threw the block!
i going to san diego from phoenix, made it to yuma, big boom, lots of smoke out the tail pipe, oil everywhere. had it towed back to phoenix ($570). my brother in law works at the ford dealership he took a look at the motor and brought me home couple suvineres, one was the top of one of my pistons, the other was a chunk of the block. he found the piston somewhere in the front suspention. i wish i knew how to post pictures casue the piston is a real sight, looks like a piece of terminators chewing gum. now i dont know what i want to do, i can get a long block from ford at an employees price, but i would risk blowing the stock block again, how do i get in touch with someone who does stroker motors, any one know any good L tuners in Arizona?

ak2azyz4ever sorry to hear about your engine. I would suggest giving Dean over at SVC Motorsports a call and let them know what you are looking to do. They have tuned the fastest Lightnings in AZ and are great guys.

I agree the factory pistons and rods were designed to hold the factory specified HP and RPM.
My factory set up had 96K on it with no issues. I went with a built lower end for racing purposes.
