Missing a connecting rod...

Wow! That's some damage. I guess better than through the block. Of course I'm thinking the block isn't unscathed.

Is that a Jeep 991 GT3?

That was it's way of saying that it didn't want to be rebuilt, Vinny.

Shouldn't the question now be "3, 5, 7?" ???
Bummer about the motor.

Yeah that's the first thing I thought also. Block is trashed. Cracked along the oil pan rail.

I remember one time, after rebuilding a manual transmission, putting it back in the car, then going over to my bench to put tools away and clean up. Looking up in horror and seeing a synchro ring hanging on the pegboard. I was slightly upset.

Vinny, I did that once with a DB4 engine, getting ready to try starting it and kicked an oil chain tensioner piston across the garage floor. Eff Me! At least I hadn't tried to start it yet.

I do have a 600hp BBC, sitting in the garage , that I might be able to shoehorn in.
