Sounds like you fried a fusible link or popped some fuses.

How do you know you spun a bearing? Did you have your foot in it when everything quit working?

Not having any details other then those above, this sounds fishy. Unless spun bearings typically produce electrical/charging issues.

my guess is that some of the popped fuses made their way into the crankcase and it locked up the rotating assembly or some battery acid mixed in with the oil and toasted said bearing.

did someone tell you that you spun a bearing or did you see it for yourself?

he looked at the fuse saying it was good after i told him to replace it, which he didn't. so i started diagnosing and asked him if he had replaced it which he then had a smirk on his face. i pulled the fuse and it looked fine, but it was blown.

Should be titled "Bad battery causes spun main bearing" because thats how LT1s do it. Just like "Water pump went out and totaled my distributor" Oh wait that does happen!
