Exploding Torqueflites

That's what took off part of Big Daddy's foot too, right? Or was that a motor explosion?

I saw one of those blow up first hand, once. That's why I've got a big ol' blanket on my tranny.

And yeah, I know, I've got the wrong valve body. But I'm sticking with it for now.

Pretty sure that was a manual tranny flywheel. Which is why there are SFI approved flywheels and explosion-proof bellhousings. I could be wrong, through.
