Bent/broken flexplate ?
Good day all! Today I have some questions that bamboozle me bc I’ve never seen anything like this in all my years of study mechanics and working on cars. But first a little back story.
a couple months ago* : I was driving down the highway doing about,eh, 75-80mph . Cars were entering the highway ,I blipped the throttle to speed up a tad bc I could get over. Well I pass the entering cars and decide to blip the throttle,nothing to harsh. And I all of a sudden ,I get no movment. Engine is still running,transmission is still engaging but no forward movement. I’m coasting by this time.t first thought was that,oh no .. the trans took a S***... turns out it didn’t. Then I thought timing ! But engine still ran until I turned it off ! Then I thought starter . But it’s perfect. Long story short ,I dismantled the engined and timing was good. Basically what id
like to ask is “ HOW THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN “ any and all input is appreciated and welcome . Car is fully built .
447 stroker, driveline build from RPM. Below is a pic of what the inside of the bellhousing looks like.
