In 1963 we had a D-Gas class 265 cubic inch chevy flywheel explode with about the same amount of damage except the windshield left the car and the whole dash ended in the rear seat area. It was a Ford straight axle, one piece tilt front end car with the engine moved back 10 inches. The explosion knocked the driver out, broke both his legs and the car lost the front brakes and costed to the sand trap at the end of the strip. It was a 55# flywheel, supposed to explosion proof and a 3/8 steel scatter shield welded to the frame that took out the top of the car. Blankets and such were not invented yet. The engine ran Hilborn injectors and also lost the rear of the engine a bit.

This is not the Chevy.....
