Damn that's a tradgedy.
Shawn, are the sleeve's thin in the 454 or something? I imagine his motor came with a good forged piston, so what about it isn't built for boost? Needs aftermarket sleeves?

4.185 bore is wayyyyyyyyyyy to thin for boost. We make 44 to 50lbs boost evey pass but the bore is only 4.125. Some of the early blocks are know for core shift, combine that with a large bore, and well the pictures show it. Do you know if this was a early block or a latter block?

Just throw some JB weld on there and it'd be good to go...
..Looks like a lil stress fracture, no biggie... :
Helicoil- that core shift is very interesting, what combination of nonsense would cause this to happen to such a strong block?

Wow coreshift sounds like a likely culprit! It would be interesting to mic the wall right where that hole is and see how thick it is, it doesnt look real thick from the picture but you cant really tell by the angle.
