I didn't see what exactly gave out in your engine, I assume a rod? What rods were you running and what length were they, if you don't mind me asking.

I haven't pulled the engine out of the car yet, I'm making it suffer a little bit longer before I do. The rods were originally 5.7" Eagle. Now one is 3". The other half of the broken rod is still in the bottom of the pan. From what I can see thru the hole in the pan, the crank looks nice and smooth on that journal. The big problem is the block is cracked on the outside as well as the number 7 bore.

That's ok, I won't be needin no small block no more.

Hmm, are these free to good home Streets? Im planning on making Cutlass 2, and a Chevy SB might shake things up a bit, as its current 307 is smoked. But its a pretty white @ 800!
