Hi Shawn,
Catastrophic engine failure  ; maybe over-revved it at Willow Springs track days last March. Haven't finished the autopsy yet; searching for the smokin' gun. Cracked three cylinders and the lifter bores and ruined a nice set of 250 cfm iron heads. Saved the crank, rods, and roller rockers. Rebuilding with 300 KRE heads, 3:42 gear, and a 10" 3200 stall Continental. Gonna scream  .
