Damn thats sucks for her to go through that scare.
Maybe it's just a blown headgasket if your not seeing any holes? Was there some banging going on as well? Did it sound like it came apart?

Yeah, there was some bangin' and other ugly noises. It might have sucked a valve and lifted the head. I just can't tell where all the oil came from. It's somewhere on the drivers side but I couldn't see any holes in the block.
Well guys, I think the black car lunched the engine tonight at PIR.
Not sure about the extent of the damage yet, but she poured oil about 500-600 ft past the finish line (happened in 4th gear, just after crossing fl @ 118ish mph). I did a quick preview of the block, and it does not appear to have any gaping holes. The entire bottom and back end of the car got a nice oil bath though. Should have known I was racing on borrowed time with those stock connecting rods. I'll have an update as soon as I figure out what happened. Here's a vid of the smoke show lol....

Thanks everyone. Like Cody said, it's all part of the hobby. How's that old saying go, "if you're not breaking shit, you're not driving it hard enough" lol.... or,,, "don't lift until you piss yourself, smell shit or puke" lol.....
I pulled a valvecover and spark plugs from the side that dumped the oil. All the plugs looked good, and no broken valvesprings. From what I can tell, the oil was dumping from somewhere around the DS motor mount. Without pulling the engine I can't tell if there is a crack back there, or it was coming from the head gasket.
We have plans for most of tomorrow so I won't be able to dig any deeper until Monday, and the wait is killing me!
I found the culprit of the lost oil yesterday,,,, spit a rod through the block just under the motor mount. I should have the engine out of the car today so I can inspect the damage inside the block.
Back in the day, my friend used to always tell me, "you're not a real car guy until you've sent a rod through the block" lol.... I guess I'm finally a real car guy now LMAO......

Our old 351c shot a rod through the oil pan, so I know the feeling. That's when we bought a forged stroker assembly and had our hard filled block fixed up, excellent persuasion this stuff is
Damn that sucks bro.. But atleast you found the problem and now you know what you need to do. Just go the extra distance to prevent the same problem from happening again. keep us updated on what your going to do.
