The motor had about 3 hours of run time on it from adding new bearings/rings.... the block is now an anchor, as it 2 rods and pistons, I think the crankshaft can be re-used, although I'm not planning on using it in my race engine, maybe a mild street engine in the future.... The cylinder heads are fine as is the solid roller lifters and basically all the top end.....
I'll build a new engine with a new rotating assy. and my BOSS 302 block using pretty much the same combo, but changing the cam to a slighty larger one....

The engine ran for less than 10 seconds when things started coming apart and at 2000 rpms or less, so I think that's why more parts were not damaged......

Only good thing is I have until October before I was gonna race again, so I don't have to rush to build another engine........
