If I recall correctly, H2O (water for us common folk) is one of the few (only?) substances that can occupy all three states of matter.

ummm... both are "fluids". LSU Industrial Engineer May '07.
Also, just as an aside water is slightly compressible. If you're doing calculations that have water, say, 1000 m deep then you could be quite a bit off assuming it's noncompressible. At 1000m the pressure (pgh) will be enough to compress the liquid and change it's density from 997 kg/m^3.
Just to recap, water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. Of course, we all know that. Air can be a liquid at extreme pressures, but is commonly a gas. Both air and water are "fluids". Atleast they were when I took mechanical engineering fluid dynamics, and it hasn't changed. That's why you study flow seperation, turbulance, and aerodynamics in fluids because air is a "fluid".
Correct.

Gases and liquids are the two subcategories of fluids.

Not necessarily the full 67 cc's, but enough to send your CR sky high.
I cant believe its that easy to hydo-lock a stock motor without driving it directly into a lake.

The water was about mid bumper deep and I was merging to an on-ramp and not going very fast. There was enough water splashed up that it sucked past the filter. It doesn't have to cover the lower air box lid.

maybe just maybe 
I don't see the problem with everyone saying the FTRA and any of those CAI kits cause this problem. I have driven my car with the FTRA for over 3 years in every kind of rain imaginable and my has never so much as hesitated in the rain. Yeah if you run through a foot and a half deep puddle of water it doesn't matter if you have no CAI or not something is going to happen. Point of this is to stay away from those holes filled with water. Nothing good can come from them. Sorry about your motor man that always sucks to see that happen. Would you be willing to get rid of that motor since it is trash. I would like to have it so I can tear it apart and study it a little bit because I have never rebuilt an LS1 and it would perfect for learning.
well apparently if the water is MID-BUMPER you dont need an FTRA to drown your ls1 lol...i wonder exactly how much water it takes to kill an ls1, probably not much at all since on the compression stroke, even if a little water compresses a little bit, it wont be enough for the piston to extend all the way up i would imagine...
I hit a lot of standing water (I have the bottom of my aif box cutout) in the ran about a week or so ago...im talking atleast a couple inches on the highway, at about 40 mph. Water was slpashing up over the hood. I checked my airfilter a few days later, and it was packed with sand, and other road debris, and a lot of water spots in the box...after reading this, it sounds like i got lucky. Sorry about your misfortune.
that sucks.....jb weld it
