another one
Here ya go. This is a land speed record vintage car with a model A motor running on Nitro. The top of the block has no remaining connection to the bottom. Note the number one piston pin is next to the big end of the rod. Not really the way it was manufactured. The nex picture is from our GMC motor. A little sample of what Nitro can do.

I agree nitro can do some awsome damage, but the block usually stays in the vehicle! WOW!
