Sure ya do dipsh*t. Lots of people with small block Chevys in Mustangs
need help on an internet forum.
Go away little boy.

I agree...the story sounds a little fishy. If it all is legit, fill us in
on some more details and we can help...Sounds like the engine was
improperly put together (valves not properly adjusted) and you are turning
tooo many RPMs (from spinning the tires)

Where the two bent pushrods for the same cylinder?

there is no need to explain a problem so horribly wrong :ticking:
:laughing:

If that was in fact the case, why would that be so horribly surprising? It
happens all the time. If 25 random engine parts were spread out in front
of you, could you even identify a pushrod? I bet not.

I still stand by my original response. Improperly adjusted valves or too
many rpms....
Do you have press in or screw in rocker arm studs? Did the engine ever run
correctly? Under what conditions did the problem occur?
Feed us a few more details....As most here know I am more of a body and
electrical guy than engine...But the one thing I do know is your request
lacks enough information to make a good assessment.
And on a final note you may have alienated the people that could truly help
you with your harsh responce.....you should never bite the hand that
feeds...

im not sure if i have screw in or press in studs.the engine has never
really run right.its ran good,but not right.it acts different every time it
bends or breaks a push rod.it has hardly no throtle response,like the
timing is to low.if i advance the dist. the starter drags.maybe the gear to
gear timing is off a little.i dont know.

ive never seen a mustang that says chevrolet on the valve covers...

whats your rocker ratio? what kind of lifters do you have? valve spring psi
when open and when closed? what type of pushrods are you putting in it?
whats your timing set to? whats the timing of the cam? has the valve(s)
ever come in contact with the piston(s)? are your valves sealing properly?
and are your rockers adjusted properly (no lash, but not holding the valve
open)?
what were the conditions when the problem first started? dont lie.
I'm still learning, but if you answer those questions I and everyone else
can get a better idea of whats going on.

why does the engine shot look different from the engine in the car shot. i
see an ac compressor in one shot but no ac compressor in the other.
something seems fishy. try starting the car with the timming retarded and
then move it to where it doesnt hesitate when you "whack" the throttle.
that should be close enough to "dial" it in. before we spend to much time
on it though, we need more info.

mechanic myself as you can tell.ill have some one come over and go over
