You're correct on the bearing. There must have been some trash in the oil.

Yes, rebuilding with New Block. Ross Pistons with larger skirts. New Bearings. Better Nitrous Rings. Going to cost around $2500
Cylinder walls may not be able to be honed out. I decided to go with a new block and not take a chance on a thinner wall.
2nd engine I have pulled.
Blower??? Why look at the blower? In any rate, still looking for a D1.

Jeez, Ed, those pics are worse than I thought... 
You couldn't see any of that damage from the top when we were working on pulling it - but that sure explains the smoke and loss of power.
Still staying with 383 cubes for the rebuild ? Got any leads on a D1 yet ?

Yep 383.
One is more than I can spend. And the other person has not decided to sell or not.
