He needs a whole bottom end, then. Did the head survive?

It's a stroker crank and he hopes it is ok.
Not sure about the head yet but there was water in the oil but not a milkshake.
Two exhaust shims for #3 were laying in the cam box.
Same cyl that threw the rod.

8 to 5 odds the head is fooked like a tired goat.
