OOOOOH MAN. That sucks Mike.
Did it chew up the top of the piston at all? or is the short block ok?
I had a 72 Blazer in college, and I was coming down 17 just outside Camp Verde when one of my valves completely broke in two - It took out everything with it- Only the crank, and one cylinder head core were rebuildable - The other head was cheese, the block was cracked, and I was a broke college student.
I rebuilt that engine in our dorm room at NAU, and re-installed it in the truck (in the dorm parking lot) during homecoming weekend, 1991.
I even got my picture in the school newspaper...
