In June I was driving down the highway when my poor baby blew up on me. It was on fire for about 5-10 minutes before the fire department got there.
Can anything be saved internally in the motor, like my Sum8701 camshaft? Maybe take the hardened pushrods too. That's really all I'd want out of the block. You can see in the pics the aluminum heads didn't melt. Not sure if internals got hot enough to lose temper/hardness.
The only thing I really want to salvage is the brand new monster transmission that I only had about 5,000 miles on. It was painted green... But smoke damage turned it black... I'm unsure of how much damage it could have sustained seeing as the fire was contained to the engine bay.
What are your thoughts??
