he is working on it, i know everyone that he is getting a hold of to try and get it fixed. I dont think the block is good b/c of scratches in the cylinders from the bearing material...new pics in a few!!

here are some new pics, dunno if the block can be saved, its already been bored to a 3.898, and look at the scratches on the piston skirts
also heard from an "unknown" source that he is supposed to be going to LMR monday to get a crank, and new rod. My major concern is how much bearing material went through the engine. how do i know the rings are ok? guess we will see monday what the guy, that he wants to assemble the engine, has to say about the damage. Glad to know that he is making phone calls....i just have my doubts about the motor being salvageable.

*Edit* - Yea, it looks fine. Here's a pic of my block from the top. You can see the rough casting around the edges like yours has.

From the top it looks right, looking at it from the bottom it looks like the block had a hole knocked in it... Carry On

I had a person sell me some bad auto parts a couple of years back. Instead of getting on a forum and crying like a baby back bitch, we did things differently.
