That's nice, you did that pretty good!

I have a block and crank that's rebuildable if you want it.

MMMmm, new motor...

That looks like it was one hell of an explosion. Would have been interesting to see that one happen.

That's nothing. I blew up a 350 in a 3/4 ton Suburban years ago that failed so badly it blew the small end of a rod along with most of a piston pin THROUGH the cam and THROUGH the lifter valley sending a pushrod out THROUGH the valve cover and put a 1 inch tall dent in my hood. Do not EVER miss a shift and hit granny low at 40 MPH. Doh!!!
