looks like i will be taking the jag to the nationals as my freshly built engine in my freshly restored gtt decided to detonate tonight me and briggsy were setting it up till 11pm last night and got it tuned sweet.. so decided to clock some miles up tonight and gain some confidence in it 20 miles down the road and it sounds like its spun a shell .. to be honest im not surised after all the trouble i had with the re ground crank locking up and 20 trips to the machine shop.... oh well suppose i will scrap this block salvage what i can and rebuilt it again shame it aint gona make it to the show
