In the 60s, my dad a sort-of rare 1963 Pontiac Lemans with a rear transaxle and a 326 V8 up front. It was rare even then (as I found out later).
I wanted to be cool, so I went to yank the air-cleaner cover off and flip it, so it would make lots of noise when I stomped on the pedal. Well, I accidentally dropped the wing nut down the carb. One of my friends said "don't worry about it", and "just nail it" and it "will clean istelf out." Well?? The engine blew to pieces. Later found bent rods, hole in block, broken crank, etc. Must be one of the "stoopidist" things I've ever done to a car. I told my dad I'd buy a used engine and fix it. Then found out, no engines to be found. Seems that 326 was used only in that Lemans and had a special crankshaft to mate the pilot tube to the rear tranaxle. I.e., no standard 326 would work. We searched for an engine for a few months and then gave up, and junked the car. Of course, that was long before the Internet, so I don't know how thorough that "national junkyard search" was.
