Default I Killed the motor!!!

Nothing like throwing away good parts! Actually, it could be worse- I blew the top of a piston on cyl #5, and wasted the cylinder/sleeve on both #3 & #5. Resulted in a few cracks in the block too!

Looks like the heads survived virtually unscathed. Ordering up an iron 6.0 block, boring it and running a Callies crank & rods kit likely with Wiseco pistons. This time we'll use a dished,, forged piston in order to accomodate the SuperCharger. I'm amazed how nice all of the bearings and the rest of the bottom end looked- might've lasted forever w/o boost. Guess the block wasn't good to 600 hp+.
