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- -------------------- [SIZE=7][COLOR=blue][SIZE=1]-WES-

Gotta love straight up metal on metal contact. I wonder how was the coolant temp before it happened? Good luck getting it fixed man, I've seen 7AFEs on here for 100 bucks.
