I was gonna say "ouch", but didn't want to make you feel bad.
Car looks great by the way. How was that, will you sleep better tonight?

Well this is my first time seeing it and I'll say OUCH!

I'm assuming you were driving it when it went boom? How many miles were on that engine before it went boom and do you know what the cause was?

I mean, it looks pretty stout. You didn't get cheap on the crank did you? I mean... tell me that wasn't a cast crank

Looks like a couple of the main caps are salvageable!
