I'd like to know who has had to have engines (and drivetrains) replaced, and what could have caused this. Relevant topics are spun bearings and the like. Do I have to have had the car for all of its engines and drivetrains to join this thing I'm coining? My 94 was bought at 16K from the son of a dealership owner by Person M. Person M drove the car until 278K miles. During that time, the engine block was replaced and rebuilt twice, and the transmission was rebuilt twice. The guy'* plan worked, but it was expensive. Basically, he beat the crap out of the car, and he replaced the engines as necessary. :(
Willwren, McGrath, and Dirthead Racing are some of the people who have had more than one engine. It seems 93-SSE will soon join. I guess the 442 Olds guys should be in this as well since their car has had not just the front engine replaced, but it runs on two! That'* awesome. The guys that have owned Frankenbonne should throw that car in here.
I could probably go on about this and search and whatnot, but I would appreciate it if everyone could list how many engine replacements/rebuilds have been needed per car. Thanks!

I'm really intrigued by all the people here that have broken 300K. My car is going to do that in 9K miles. However, I've had it since I joined BC, and it'* only gotten 13K miles from me. I'm sure drag strips add a few years...
