if your engine "kicked back" against the starter, it could've done that. had a customer the other day in a buick with a bad ignition module....he kept cranking. the compression kicked back, and snapped the starter.

Thats where I would look ...if your cranking it and have a instant voltage drop and then its back that will blow that starter right off the block ... I had issues with a small block chevy that broke the block and had to weld studs in to it and then cracked/broke the starter check the cables did you change the battery ....... I could see if you had some coolant loss or the timming was way up but you checked and rechecked all of that I'm thinking start with the basics and check the cables and battery and grounds .....just my 2 cents

if your battery's in the trunk, you'll lose quite a bit of amperage coming up front. also, if you're still using side terminal, disconnect the battery, and look inside of both cable ends. corrosion has a nasty habit of forming inside the insulation, and i've had many many cases when it would prevent a car from even accepting a boost.

Yep, battery is in the back. I think i have it licked. The battery that i was using just must not had enough uhmph. Like stated above, i believe then the starter would drop out while cranking and then kickback out, in turn breaking the starter cases. The only thing weird is that i am getting multiple missfire codes now. The only thing changed was the timing tables lowered in my tune for startup. Could this cause this issue??

Ok, it must be electrical is all i can figure. I have random codes now popping up. Started seeing bank 1 o2 sensor failure which is brand new. Now i am seeing multiple miss fire codes and crankshaft position sensor A failure! Thing runs like a top so it just can't be anything with these codes!??
Buy any chance are these powered or grounded at the same point?

Crankshaft signal code went away. Now i am only stuck with the multiple miss fire code. Thing runs fine and doesn't seem to be missing a beat so i'm not sure what's going on yet. The battery power is coming from the same source and the grounds are grounded to death. I have 4 grounds in various places including the block. All are connected in different spots on the car so i am 99% sure it's not the ground wire/wires.

I am assuming since you said the flexplate only has 1000 miles on it you recently had the transmission pulled away from the motor. I have seen the wiring harness that runs across the back of the engine fall down and get pinched in between the motor and transmission causing all kinds of issues.
