nice paper weight ya got there..was anything else destroyed when the engine let go?

 

Well there's your problem!
Seriously though that really sucks dude. The best thing to do now is when you build the 408 make it one nasty SOB.

 

Or there is this option.... http://www.zercustoms.com/news/GM-Pe...ine-video.html
says ls7 style heads so I suppose it could take the intake from one.

 

The only things that were destroyed was the bottom end. Windage tray, crank, both sensors, rod and piston obviously, and block. The piston did hit the head, but didnt leave even as much as a ding in it. Bent the intake valve, but JUST slightly. Exhaust valve never hit

 

Hey I need a crank can I buy that oneand maybe the Rods?

 

are you serious????? The reluctor wheel on the crank is shot, so is the bearing surface of the number 8 rod. I only have 7 rods left, as one is in pieces. LOL I think your kidding though, atleast hope so!!!!

 

damn dude thats crazy i stretched a rod bolt once but i got lucky and only spun a bearing and warped the crank. still cost me a pretty penny though once i got it all back together

 

well theres your problem..
lol

 

Yes it sucks, but what do you guys expect???
Everybody here is warned that this can happen on a stock block, yet most insist on reving those blocks way past their limits.
What a waste of good aluminum and block. To think less than 200$ could have avoided that (Rod bolts- Katech).

 

damn... 7100 rpm's!!!! YIKES!

 

now those are some worn bearings!

 

hammer and some sand paper oughta fix those bearings

 

Makes a nice Boat Anchor. Good luck with your rebuild.

 

... 6800 rpms ... 6900 rpms ... 7000 rpms ... 7100 rpms ... kink kink ... KABOOM !!!
