i was driving on beltway 8 E. in houston and i was changing lanes at 65mph and all of a sudden smoke and flames came out from under the hood i pulled over and ran but the fire had put its self out and now im left with a crater size whole in my block and everything such as the rods,crankshaft, etc. is exposed and cv axle also blew out of tranny. is this unheard of or has it happened to anyone else here? i need a new engine fast for real cheap. mostly a 7afe but if i could swap in a 5sfe or a 3sge or whatever for just as cheap let me know anything helps in my situation i juss need a new motor for now and i dont care what kind as long as i can afford it "Limited Budget".

thnx wess-

the 7afe isnt that weak of a motor and even has extra high oil pressure, i'd so no or low oil and a spun bearing, rod seized to crank, crank said no, rod and crank got into a fight, and you lost.
