broken crankshaft anyone?

A guy from florida called me and wanted to buy my 355" LT1- he said his motor was "bad".. I didn't ask any questions, I just wanted to sell my motor.. anyway, we reached an agreement where I would do the swap @ my place.. Here is what I found:

www.teamprickracing.com/97ws6/

the optispark is destroyed, timing cover exploded, timing chain broke, crankshaft broken, at least 1 main cap is broken and that's just what I can see from the outside looking in..

The car has 40k miles and the only modifications are an airfoil and
cherry bomb mufflers..

Just bad luck I guess
I'll post more pics if I find anything else that looks cool.

Bet that made some noise coming apart. At least removing the balancer should be really simple.

Did you ever get a full pass on your twin turbo setup?
