Boss 557 on dyno when everything goes wrong. Had to rush for dyno time and did not have billet flywheel. We used stock 429 flywheel. Made 6 runs, this was the 7th. 850 hp before the blow.
 
On the comment section they said that the flywheel let loose, took out the headers and block and ended up in the next room......
 
I guess there's a reason it's called the "shotgun motor"
 
OOPSIE!!!
A little "200mph" tape and it'll be just fine.
 
That's a damn shame. I built one of those for a customer back around 1973 or 74 when I worked for Riverside Racing Equipment before Harry's operation was called Super Shops. It's a bitchin' motor. The head gaskets are nothing but O-rings. It was in a '70 Mustang, 4 speed car, factory Boss car.

Ca BOOM!! I wish the camera would have stayed in position.
