Well it turned out I blew this thing to high heaven. I've only got two pics of the carnage right now, but from what I was told by the guy who did my engine swap this weekend, is that there are 4 holes total. Yes, count em', four! The first pic is one of the smaller holes, there is one on the bottom of the block that you can fit your hole hand in. One on the front of the block, and not sure where the last one is. I was lucky to not have a blown transmission as well since there was a rod sitting in the transmission housing. You can see the fragments of metal it left behind. He also told me that I folded one of the rods basically in half. So enjoy these two pics for now and I as I have time to remove the turbo kit I will have more pictures of the rest of the damage.

To save myself lots of trouble I bought a complete longblock since I found one for an excellent price. So I have some parts I can take off but no accessories. I'll let you know what I have probably by the end of this week beginning next of next week.
But just out of my curiosity and need. Do you have a 1st cat laying around that you want to part with? Perhaps we can figure out some sort of trade.
