This says he was running a ported 241 on one side, stock truck head on the other. “Cheap Thrills” – Matt Happel’s Turbo 4.8L Swapped Ford Fairmont - LSXTV
Seems like it had reason to blow up like that.

He's just in it for fun man. They call themselves sloppy mechanics for a reason.

I know he had had two different heads in because some problem came up and the spare head was laying around.

He claims to have just under 4 grand TOTAL into the entire car, and it runs deep 10's. Winning if you ask me.

I can't stop watching this one...
