Get a load a this!(slant 6 with a hole)

back in late 80''s I went to a small mopar car meet in Bow-Edison, WA. Some guys from Canada had driven down in some early a-body (I think) with a slant 6. They had blown a hole in the left side of the block, near the front of the starter, much bigger than my fist. They got a piece of clear visqueen and siliconed it to the side of the block to hold the oil in and drove it back home. I heard they made it back ok. That's pretty crazy.
