armyed here is your carnage

[Green Mile]

At least the rods didnt break.

[armyed]

HAHAHA yea those I beams actually held up and didn't break. They have a nice curve to them though, That's actually to make more torque..its a new design ;)...HAHAHAHA I would have to say I did a good job blowing my motor up...damn DSS and there shitty cranks. Oh well since im broke Scott is just redoing a 302 for me to drop back in..damn stock motor..hahahahaha And thanks for the pics bro!

[WhiteWindsor]

What was goin on when the destruction took place?

[mike460]

Proabably a bunch o noise, some smoke, and some dirty words.....:D

No doubt.....i was just wondering the specs on engine and how much spray if any.

[armyed]

well there was a lot of RPM and a lot of noise...hahahahaha Then silence

[mike460]

well there was a lot of RPM and a lot of noise...hahahahaha Then silence

Didn't it have a blower on it?

[armyed]

yea it was a 331, forged internals, Vortech with a small pulley on it ;) which equals BOOM It was all DSS rotating assembly so that was the big problem..What can yea do..it was fun while it lasted...hahaha

That motor wasn't together all that long was it (not to rub it in) - damn and here I thought DSS had some good shit.

Yea I probably put maybe 800 miles on that motor at most...Maybe 400 of that with the blower on it. And no never buy anything from DSS. I found that out right after I bought the motor and now look at what happened. lol

Well that blows ass. Better luck on the next venture....

[armyed]

Thanks dude, the next motor will just be something I can put around in till im rich..lol you live and learn right..Im so much more knowledgeable now then I was before this engine build. Maybe Thacker will race me now that a 302 is going back into it?

[a408swinger]

what kind of rods were they?

[S351R13]

Go back with a 351!

[armyed]

They are DSS Forged I beam rods..I cant believe they didn't break and just bent

[Flamed03]

Ewwww. That sucks.

Stick a 351 in it! More inches + a stronger factory block for not much more than a 302.

[WIKDLX]

I got a nice block for ya :)

[Five-o-Joe]

What kind of power was it making?

[Mustang Performance]

When DSS first started they were fine, seems when they moved to the bigger facility the products got worse. Saw a DSS 347 crank break in the exact same spot.

[j-mill]

if i remember correctly. a h beam rod will break before a i bem rod due to the way it is constructed. but a i beam will bend at a lower horsepower level. before the h beam breaks. something to that effect. but either or it still sucks. anybody fill free to correct me if im wrong.

[PangleRacing]

His rods bending wasn't what caused the failure more like a result of the failure...

Breaking the front portion off a cast crankshaft while using a blower is pretty common especially if you add a factory 302 block into the mix...

Take a look at that front journal on the crank... Hmmmm...

Tighten that blower belt till it goes "bing", and you'll see results like this all day long...

strongly agreed.

DSS is a shitty company to deal with to say the least. This sure aint the only one I've seen toss shit through the block from them!!

[brian97cobra]

thats a good looking boat anchor

[armyed]

What kind of power was it making?

it was making about 500....but no more..Ill just have to live with a lot less :spin:

I can think of about 5 people who have had DSS motors take a shit on them . And these motors were not abused.....they were all well within the recommended power level , they just didnt hold up. I ran a blower on my 95 for a long time , making a good bit more power than you...stock block , stock crank , stock pistons and rods and I beat the hell out of it on sticky tires (which loads the motor harder that street tires) and I never had the first problem. I kept the blower belt tight as hell too just to prevent belt slippage under boost. That motor never even blew a head gasket

[305/LT1]

Just do an old's 307 conversion, you know the rocket engine's.

[armyed]

Yup I can think of many people too.. I have a buddy here in Baghdad with me and he bought a dart block 347 from DSS and when his guy got it in and put that motor his car they had a ton of problems, took it out and took it apart and the thing had bolts that weren't locked down and a bunch of other problems. They have gone to shit in a hand basket. They just pump out as many motors as they can and don't care about quality because they will always have new people to buy that don't know how bad they are because they have one hell of an advertising push. Hey when they build motors for a magazine they damn sure triple check that motor before sending it to them...gotta look good in the magazines! But im not complaining, you live and you learn and I am a smarter man for it. I will try to stop anyone I know from buying from them so they don't have to make the same mistake as I did.

Naaa a 302 with 6 pounds of boost will get me down the road just fine :haha:

[vortech_95-gt]

Naaa a 302 with 6 pounds of boost will get me down the road just fine :haha:I made 508rw with a h/c/i 302 with an S-trim with a stock pulley and 545 with a 3.15 pulley which made about 10-11 lbs. as I stated in my above post , it never hurt a single part

Yea well that's because you didn't have a DSS ching chong crank in it..hahahaha This next motor will not break like this one did.

[vortech_95-gt]

Yea well that's because you didn't have a DSS ching chong crank in it..hahahaha This next motor will not break like this one did.Thats what I mean I wasnt referring to the DSS motor , I was talking about the stocker , you said your next motor will just be something to put put around it , Ill bet (from my own experience) it will do more than put put LOL I will even bet you can make more power safely with the stock stuff for longer than with the dss crap

[armyed]

Naa im going to go easy on the motor that's going in it. Don't need to blow another motor especially with stock internals. She will Put Put around for a while

[armyed]

Hey Scott is the motor about ready to throw back in the car? He got me this engine on the cheap to get it going again.

[armyed]

So what do yall think about my new motor? That thing is on fire right? hahaha

[PangleRacing]

Looks like a 289 to me...

[armyed]

bored to a 302 ;)

[armyed]

Maybe i can get a race with someone with a civic or something so I can keep up...Maybe 305 will try out me and my turd motor.
