Blown engine

I'm at the Ford garage right now tearing my 350 down. I had to beat the oil pan back in to get the bolts out. I'm taking pictures that I will post later. This thing is fucked. BTW, retail, this motor would have cost me 10,000 to 15,000 dollars. I worked at an elite engine machine shop at the time that it was built (10 years ago). Free labor, all premium parts at cost, and it ran me 4000 grand.
It ran out of oil too. It was late I was hauling ass, an oil line broke, and I cried like a bitch while the tow truck driver took me and my car home. It had less than 5000 miles on it. There is maybe 500 dollars worth of salvagable parts now.
The good thing is that upon removing it, I found the manual trans case busted, and the rear end on the verge of exploding. Way too much power for the stock drive train.
