I'm Sorry. A friend sent it to me and said it was Mopar. Ford...Mopar......they all look the same to me.

You guys are hard on anyhting other than GM. I guess a thread need to be started of some GM carnage to even things out. That is a pic of a Mopar.

That is a different engine, It is a BB Mopar that is exploded as the Ford is also.
A very bad day for both, would not wish that destruction on any brand, very hard to keep control with that much oil on the rear tires.
