Is my LS7 block salvageable?
My 2006 Z06 had a brand new LS7 put in with a Vortech supercharger and died a horrible amd unexpected death due to overheating. The engine would turn on for a few seconds, and make very loud scratching noises, spit oil out of the driver's side cylinder head,, and shut off. I'm not sure if it was due to PCV issues, or sabatoge. I had everything removed and a few pistons and the crank turned blue from when it overheated. The engine block looks ok, but it has a few scratches.
I would appreciate any advice if any of these parts are salvageable. I hope to rebuild the engine again and hope I can use my current block. I have attached pictures.
Thanks
All those scratches

I know this is an old thread, but looks like the crank was starved for oil, got MIGHTY hot 🔥 🥵, and spun a rod bearing(s). Hope you could salvage something. Update would be nice.......
