Unlike El Rat, I have only ever dropped a rod once, 401 Nailhead, I was doing 80MPH at the time, and I lost power, no noise, no smoke, I actually thought I ran out of fuel, even hailed another car down and got a ride 20 miles to get some fuel and back, the guy I hailed down was a super guy and gave me a lift back, still wouldn't start then when I popped the hood number 7 rod was hanging out the block, the 64 Buick Electra had some great sound deadening/proofing.
