I’m guessing a piston the wrist pin was laying on the skid plate with a bunch of chunks of aluminum broke both sides of the upper oil pan. I didn’t get to see any of the parts laying on the track.

Started pulling the engine couldn’t turn it over the whole way to get the converter bolts so I was able to reach my hand in the hole and pulled this out

There is just about nothing left of the rod other then the cap and about an inch of the beam if that… I wouldn’t ever think I made enough power to break a corrillo rod.

So I happened to come across a free lbz block but it has already been bored 40 over and it looks like it sat for a long time.. I guessing it would need bored again. Is it worth/safe going any bigger or should I just junk it and find another one?

I personally wouldn't go any larger, these cylinder walls are thin enough as it is. That's just my opinion tho.

Pulled the injectors today the one on the right was in the hole that let go.. I had blow by all over the valve cover o ring was gone and the end was loose if you look close you can see the body is swelled on it.
