Default Damage from blown flywheel

If you have any doubts about the damage a flywheel/clutch explosion can do: Dug this photo out of my archives. Shot is of a small-block powered gas coupe that had such an explosion. Note destroyed instrument panel, broken windshield, sheared off brake and accelerator pedals, hole in floor and the back of the engine sans aluminum bellhousing, flywheel and clutch. Dark liquid is . . . well, use your imagination.
