Roscoe first day out.......
 

So after working this truck for 20 years off and on I finally finished it. I did all the work myself but did but turnkey 347 Blueprint engine and new c4 tranny. Now the sad part I insured it 2 days ago and went to take it for its first drive to the store 2 miles..... made it 1 mile. Then white smoke out the left exhaust and instantly truck stalled, towed it home pulled spark plugs. Pictures tell the rest motor has 1 mile on it.

No bueno, sorry to hear that.

Looks like your blueprint engine wasnt blueprinted very well.

That don't look good at all!

Oh man that sucks! Is there a warranty?

Crap
Did you hear anything from the engine.
That looks like parts flying around in there.

Ngeesh....

'Might wanna scope the #5 cylinder for foreign objects.

Alternatively, could the plug have had too much stick-out? Mis-boxed plugs are not unheard of.

Those plugs look way to long for a small block ford motor IMHO

:'(

I agree, those look like long reach plugs more common to the new engines, not a vintage small block.

They are pretty long but you'd have to know which head was being used.
If I remember correctly there are at least three different lengths for SBs.

If it was a plug length problem wouldn't the other plugs look just as bad?

I like the flat black look (satin black??) looks bad ass!

Depends if the crook of the electrode was oriented "just right" as to make contact with the piston.

Time to go get *****....leave this over to the nerds/

Did you pull the head to see what dmage has been done?
