It's a bad day when your connecting rod exits your block and cuts your oil pan in half.
Not mine.

Oh that sucks.

The freeze plugs look salvageable.

Damn....leave the bolts tight and weld that b*st*rd back up! That would make one hell of a garage ornament.

I have one that I take to the swap meets that look just like that one. I came on a core motor that bought for the heads not the bottom end. Late model vortec block and it only had about a one inch spot and the pan rail on the right side holding it together. Number one rod on this pan so it show up very nice. I could have sold it 100 times but then its more of a show stopper and conversation piece than anything on the table.

Wow - major carnage!

I've seen SBC's that would 'fog' a neighborhood but haven't seen one bad in that way in person. That must have been almost scary when it destructed! Was that caused by a major over rev?

that would be the only time where I smile at all the $$$ that went down the drain, as I proudly show everyone and say "lookit what I did!"

Sure Advanced auto sells a additive for that. Right next to the headgasket in a bottle lmao

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time (and money) in the "Liquid Hope" aisle.
