Big Red Update (Bottom End Drama)
She spun a rod bearing (#3). 
The crank and one rod were trashed.
Other than that, no other mechanical damage to speak of (excluding bearings).
Johnny checked out the tranny... it looks solid.
Flushing everything real good... then putting it back together with a few new parts.
It should be back on the road again soon.
Here's a few pics... (thanks B16aTeggy)

You should have your new Crank and Rods balanced and polished by Falicon regardless if your getting OEM or Aftermarket units. You'll have less engine vibration, especially if you remove the counter balancer.
