The upper pan looks intact, but the windage tray is mangled from the con rod. The main cap/web has a chunk missing as well. The cyl. wall is damaged, the top half of the piston stayed in the bore. Nothing hit the head, they both are checking out flat/clean. No signs of damage to the cam bores. This one must have had a quick death.

Another 3.5 I pulled apart had tons of metal chunks in the head, wiping out the cam bearing surfaces, locking the valve lifters in the bores. The crank in that one had wiped out the main bearings, and chewed into the block. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
